Chest CT Scan Protocol Specifications

In addition to the physical exam, participants were offered a CT scan of the chest. All CT scans were performed on an Aquilion One Vision Edition scanner (Toshiba Medical Systems, Otawara-shi, Japan) at the Department of Radiology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark. The following settings were used for image acquisition: 120 kVp, automated exposure control (SD15) and reconstruction with filtered back projection and a soft tissue kernel (1mm slice thickness and 1mm increment). Scans were obtained during a deep inspiratory breath-hold and included the entire lungs. The entire protocol used for spiral image acquisition in chest CT scans has been described in details elsewhere (16 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
