In chest computed tomography (CT) scans, pulmonary vessel suppression can make pulmonary nodules more evident, and therefore may increase the detectability of early lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to develop a computer‐aided detection (CAD) system with a vessel suppression function and to verify the effectiveness of the vessel suppression on the performance of the pulmonary nodule CAD system.

肺血管抑制对胸部CT扫描中结节的计算机化检测的影响。

在胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描中，肺血管抑制可使肺结节更加明显，因此可能会增加早期肺癌的可检测性。这项研究的目的是开发一种具有血管抑制功能的计算机辅助检测（CAD）系统，并验证血管抑制对肺结节CAD系统性能的有效性。
