Dual-phase computed tomography imaging for lung function assessment in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) requires accurate preoperative lung function assessment, but traditional tests have limitations in evaluating regional lung function. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of dual-phase computed tomography (CT) imaging for preoperative lung function assessment in patients with early-stage NSCLC.

Methods

Sixty patients (28 men and 32 women; mean age 55.47±10.30 years) with early-stage NSCLC were prospectively included in this study. The data utilized in this study were retrospectively analyzed from prospectively collected clinical data. Each patient underwent dual-phase (inspiratory and respiratory) CT using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) before surgery. The DECT parameters, including volume, iodine content
