Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The advantages of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) image simulations, which require enhanced computed tomography (ECT), for anatomical lung resection are well documented. However, the necessity for contrast agent presents a significant barrier for some patients. This study thus aims to evaluate the accuracy of an artificial intelligence-based 3D simulation using unenhanced computed tomography (UECT) data in comparison to ECT data.
