Impact of image quality, radiologists, lung segments, and Gunnar eyewear on detectability of lung nodules in chest CT.

ConclusionSensitivity for lung nodules was significantly enhanced by Gunnar eyewear (+3%), while lower image quality (40 ref mAs) had no impact on nodule sensitivity. Not using the glasses had a bigger impact on sensitivity than lowering the image quality.
