Digital tomosynthesis of the chest: utility for detection of lung metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract

Despite a reasonably low radiation dose, DT is a sensitive method, and is comparable to chest CT for the detection of lung nodules, particularly metastatic lung nodules in patients with CRC.
