Diagnostic performance of chest CT average intensity projection (AIP) reconstruction for the assessment of pleuro-parenchymal abnormalities

The comparison between chest x-ray (CXR) and computed tomography (CT) images is commonly required in clinical practice to assess the evolution of chest pathological manifestations. Intrinsic differences between the two techniques, however, limit reader confidence in such a comparison. CT Average Intensity Projection (AIP) reconstruction allows to obtain “synthetic” CXR (s-CXR) images, which are thought to have the potential to increase the accuracy of comparison between CXR and CT imaging. We aim at assessing the diagnostic performance of s-CXR imaging in detecting common pleuro-parenchymal abnormalities.
