  		Fig. 1. —Early lung cancer in asymptomatic 67-year-old male smoker. High-resolution (1-mm collimation) CT image (lung window) of upper lobes reveals spiculated 1-cm-diameter nodule (arrow) in periphery of left upper lobe that represented stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) at surgical resection.

  		Fig. 2. —Advanced lung cancer in symptomatic 58-year-old male smoker. Contrast-enhanced CT image (soft-tissue window) reveals collapse of left upper lobe caused by centrally obstructing mass (solid arrows) that represented non-small cell lung cancer (squamous cell) at bronchoscopic biopsy. Small left pleural effusion (open curved arrow) was proven malignant.

  		Fig. 3A. —Three-dimensional (3D) volumetric analysis shows improved detection of malignant growth rate in non-small cell lung cancer. L/H = length/height, L/W = length/width, W/H = width/height. (Adapted and reprinted with permission from [75]) (Courtesy of Yankelevitz DF, New York, NY) Three-dimensional volumetric reconstruction image of left apical lung nodule shows volume measurement of 193 mm3.

  		Fig. 3B. —Three-dimensional (3D) volumetric analysis shows improved detection of malignant growth rate in non-small cell lung cancer. L/H = length/height, L/W = length/width, W/H = width/height. (Adapted and reprinted with permission from [75]) (Courtesy of Yankelevitz DF, New York, NY) Follow-up 3D volumetric reconstruction image of same nodule performed 130 days after A reveals interval increase in volume to 234 mm3. Interval growth of nodule was not apparent on serial axial high-resolution CT images (not shown).
