Popis: Abstract To investigate the prevalence of nodular pulmonary ossifications (POs) in patients with honeycombing on ultra-high-resolution CT (UHRCT) and to compare the detectability of nodular POs between images reconstructed using the ultra-high-resolution setting (UHR-setting) and those using the conventional setting (C-setting) on UHRCT. Twenty patients with honeycombing in the lung were evaluated retrospectively. All patients underwent non-contrast-enhanced UHRCT. Images were reconstructed with UHR-setting (matrix, 2048 × 2048; slice thickness, 0.25 mm) and with C-setting (matrix size, 512 × 512; slice thickness, 0.5 mm). Two chest radiologists independently recorded the number of nodular POs (
