Welcome to the Electronic Radiology Lab
Founded in 1986 by Professors Jost, Blaine, and Cox, the ERL continues to investigate digital imaging technologies important to the distributed radiology department of the future. This site is a resource for general information about our lab and personnel, as well as updates on our participation in various research studies.
High Definition Computed Tomography (HDCT) reveals complex pediatric lung nodule morphology. HDCT reconstructions provide high definition images (0.1 mm isotropic voxels) from the clinical sinogram data, meaning that increased spatial resolution is achieved without additional radiation exposure. The ability to visualize and quantify these complex nodule morphologies may lead to improved diagnoses and minimize the need for surgical biopsy.
