摘要：

New visualization techniques for the diagnosis of nodules in high-resolution thorax CT data from multi-slice scanners are presented. The techniques are based on segmentation of the lungs and multiple projection views as well as nonlinear reformatting of the data. In particular, the visibility of small nodules close to the pleura or mediastinum may be increased substantially. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
