Abstract

BACKGROUND: Data collected from hospitals are usually partially annotated by radiologists due to time constraints. Developing and evaluating deep learning models on these data may result in over or under estimation PURPOSE: We aimed to quantitatively investigate how the percentage of annotated lesions in CT images will influence the performance of universal lesion detection (ULD) algorithms.
