Abstract

PURPOSE: Sybil is a validated publicly available deep learning-based algorithm that can accurately predict lung cancer risk from a single low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scan. We aimed to study the effect of image reconstruction parameters and CT scanner manufacturer on Sybil's performance.
