Peripheral bronchial luminal conspicuity on dynamic-ventilation computed tomography: association with radiation doses and temporal resolution by using an ex vivo porcine lung phantom

Background It is still unclear which image reconstruction algorithm is appropriate for peripheral bronchial luminal conspicuity (PBLC) on dynamic-ventilation computed tomography (DVCT). Purpose To assess the influence of radiation doses and temporal resolution (TR) on the association between movement velocity (MV) and PBLC on DVCT. Material and Methods An ex vivo porcine lung phantom with simulated respiratory movement was scanned by 320-row CT...
