Figure 3

The graphs show box‐whisker plots for comparisons between benign and malignant pure and mixed ground glass nodules (GGNs): monochromatic CT number enhancement on 40 and 70 keV images in (a) CT40keVa, (b) CT40keVv, (c) CT70keVa, (d) CT70keVv, and Hounsfield unit (HU) curves (e) λHUa and (f) λHUv, in the arterial (a) and venous (v) phases, respectively; and (g) the iodine concentration in the v phase (ICLv). Box‐whisker plots are shown, in which the lower box boundary indicates the 25th percentile, the line within the box marks the median, and the top box boundary indicates the 75th percentile. Error bars below and above the boxes indicate the 10th and 90th percentiles, respectively. Other data are represented as individual dots. The CT40keVa, CT40keVv, CT70keVa, CT70keVv, λHUa, λHUv, and ICLv of malignant GGNs were all lower than those of benign GGNs (all P < 0.05).
