Abstract

BACKGROUND: The detection of pulmonary nodules is a key step to achieving the early diagnosis and therapy of lung cancer. Deep learning based Artificial intelligence (AI) presents as the state of the art in the area of nodule detection, however, a validation with clinical data is necessary for further application. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of AI in the detection of malignant and non-calcified nodules in chest CT.
