Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Early-stage lung cancer diagnosis through detection of nodules on computed tomography (CT) remains integral to patient survivorship, promoting national screening programmes and diagnostic tools using artificial intelligence (AI) convolutional neural networks (CNN); the software of AI-Rad Companion™ (AIRC), capable of self-optimising feature recognition. This study aims to demonstrate the practical value of AI-based lung nodule detection in a clinical setting; a limited body of research.
