Characterizing the Effects of Respiratory Motion on Pulmonary Nodule-like Objects in Computed Tomography
Lung nodule volumetry is used to diagnose the likelihood of malignancy in nodules detected during thoracic CT scans. These measurements are unreliable when the patient is subject to respiratory motion. We seek to understand the relationship between reconstructed images and the actual size of nodules...
