BACKGROUND: Lung cancer (LC) screening using low-dose computed tomography (CT) is recommended according to standard risk criteria or personalized risk calculators. Machine learning (ML) models that can predict disease risk are an emerging method in medicine for identifying hidden associations that are personally unique.
