Figure 4. Relationship between tumour size and the difference in CT values between the tumour and its surrounding lung parenchyma ({Delta}CT) in visible and invisible tumours in cases detected on CT screening and those detected clinically. The detection rates onchest radiographs were 18% (4/22) for tumours <=10 mm in diameter and 66% (27/41) for tumours 11–20 mm in diameter, and 8% (2/24) fortumours <=400 HU {Delta}CT and 74% (29/39) fortumours >400 HU {Delta}CT. {triangleup}, Invisible tumour in CT screening group; {blacktriangleup}, visible tumour in CT screening group; {circ}, invisible tumour in clinical group; •, visible tumour in clinical group.
