    Ultra-high-resolution energy-integrating detector CT (UHR-EID-CT) offers superior spatial resolution of 0.14 mm compared to conventional CT's 0.23–0.35 mm.

  • 2

    UHR-CT provides enhanced depiction of lung findings, including nodules and ground-glass opacities, compared to conventional EID-CT.

  • 3

    The study utilized 20 cadaveric human lungs to evaluate the imaging capabilities of UHR-EID-CT against conventional EID-CT and photon-counting detector CT.

  • 4

    Deep-learning-based reconstruction methods improve image quality but lack validation against histological images for anatomical accuracy.

  • 5

    Accurate CT assessment of pulmonary nodules is crucial for early lung disease detection and informs clinical decision-making.
