Differentiation Between Solitary Pulmonary Inflammatory Lesions and Solitary Cancer Using Gemstone Spectral Imaging

This study aimed to verify whether spectral CT parameters can differentiate solitary lung cancer from solitary inflammatory lesions and to find their correlations with lesion size. Methods A total of 78 patients with solitary lung lesions were included in our study. All of them underwent enhanced CT scans with Gemstone Spectral Imaging (GSI) mode, which was one of the dual-energy imaging technologies. According to maximum diameter (Dmax) of the lesion, regions of interest were collected and divided into inflammatory (group I:
