Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deep learning algorithms (DLAs) could enable automatic measurements of solid portions of mixed ground-glass nodules (mGGNs) in agreement with the invasive component sizes measured during pathologic examinations. However, the measurement of pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) based on DLAs has rarely been reported in the literature.
