[Retracted] Application of CT Postprocessing Reconstruction Technique in Differential Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Solitary Pulmonary Nodules and Analysis of Risk Factors

Figure 1

The CT images of a 69-year-old female patient with adenocarcinoma (predominantly acinar type). (a, b) Conventional axial and coronal views (5 mm layer thickness) show subsolid nodules in the apical segment of the right upper lobe (red arrow) with lobulated changes (green arrow). (c, d) Axial reconstruction (1 mm) clearly shows the solid part of the lesion (red arrow) and the ground-glass part (green arrow). (e) Sagittal view of MPR shows the lesion located below the pleura with adjacent pleural thickening (red arrow), and small vacuoles are seen in the lesion (green arrow); (f) shows multiple burrs around the lesion (red arrows), and adjacent pulmonary blood vessels convergence (green arrows); (g) visually shows part of pulmonary blood vessels traversing the lesion (red arrow); (h) stereoscopically shows that the nodule is lobulated (red arrow), with multiple blood vessels in and around the lesion (green arrow).
