A 64-year-old male patient presented with colon cancer underwent surgery and chemotherapy. MIP coronal (A) and axial section at 4 mm (B), 7 mm (C) and 10 mm (D) slab thickness. VR coronal (E) and axial sections at 4 mm (F), 7 mm (G) and 10 mm (H) slab thickness. A number of the nodules detected by the MIP at 4 mm, 7 mm and 10 mm are 159, 170 and 176 nodules, respectively, compared to 150, 165 and 127 pulmonary nodules detected by the VR technique at 4 mm, 7 mm and 10 mm, respectively. The number of the pulmonary nodules detected by each technique by each slab thickness is listed at Table 7
