The aim of this study was to determine whether postprocessing techniques could improve the accuracy of detecting lung nodules. A total of 154 segmented lung volumes of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) data were the subject of the study. Lung nodules were present in 88 volumes and absent...
