Differentiating between malignant solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) and other lung diseases remains a substantial challenge. The latest generation of dual-energy computed tomography (CT), which realizes dual-energy technology at the detector level, has clinical potential for distinguishing lung cancer from other benign SPNs. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of dual-layer spectral detector CT (SDCT) for the differentiation of SPNs.
