Abstract

BACKGROUND: Incidental breast cancers can be detected on chest computed tomography (CT) scans. With the use of deep learning, the sensitivity of incidental breast cancer detection on chest CT would improve. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a deep learning algorithm to detect breast cancers on chest CT and to validate the results in the internal and external datasets.
