Semiautomatic Analysis on Computed Tomography in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Reproducibility and Prognostic Significance of Unidimensional and 3-dimensional Measurements.

abstract：:Substantial advances in detector technology characterize digital chest radiography. This article compares the various systems from a radiologist's point of view. Computed radiography (CR) is a well-established system that is robust, has good reproducibility, and is relatively inexpensive. Image quality has been contin...
