abstract = {Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether the clinical value of scanned computed tomography (CT) images is higher when using ultra-high-resolution CT (U-HRCT) target scanning than conventional CT target reconstruction scanning in the evaluation of ground-glass-nodule (GGN)-like lung adenocarcinoma.
Methods: A total of 91 consecutive patients with isolated GGN-like lung adenocarcinoma were included in this study from April 2017 to June 2018. U-HRCT and conventional CT scans were conducted in all enrolled patients. Two experienced thoracic radiologists independently assessed image quality and made diagnoses. Based on the pathological results, the accuracies of U-HRCT target scanning and conventional CT target reconstruction for detecting morphological features on CT, including spiculation of GGNs, bronchial vascular bundles, solid components in the nodules, burr, vacuole, air bronchial signs, and fissure distortion, were calculated. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 17.0 software. Enumeration data were tested using the Chi-square test. A P value of },
