Deep Learning-Based Slice Thickness Reduction for Computer-Aided Detection of Lung Nodules in Thick-Slice CT. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems for lung nodule detection often face challenges with 5 mm computed tomography (CT) scans, leading to missed nodules. This study assessed the efficacy of a deep learning-based slice thickness reduction technique from 5 mm to 1 mm to enhance CAD performance.

Optimal slice thickness for object detection with longitudinal partial volume effects in computed tomography. [PDF]
Longitudinal partial volume effects (z-axial PVE), which occur when an object partly occupies a slice, degrade image resolution and contrast in computed tomography (CT). Z-axial PVE is unavoidable for subslice objects and reduces their contrast according
