Abstract

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for lung nodule detection have been developed to assist radiologists. However, external validation of its performance on low-dose CT (LDCT) images is insufficient. We examined the performance of the commercially available deep-learning-based lung nodule detection (DL-LND) using LDCT images at Japanese lung cancer screening (LCS).
