PURPOSE: To study the effect of different reconstruction parameter settings on the performance of a commercially available deep learning based pulmonary nodule CAD system.
The spiculation sign is one of the main signs to distinguish benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. In order to effectively extract the image feature of a pulmonary nodule for the spiculation sign distinguishment, a new spiculation sign recognition ...
Pulmonary nodule false-positive reduction is of great significance for automated nodule detection in clinical diagnosis of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening. Due to individual intra-nodule variations and visual similarities be...
OBJECTIVE: To explore the natural history of pulmonary subsolid nodules (SSNs) with different pathological types by deep learning-assisted nodule segmentation.

BACKGROUND: A proposed computer aided detection (CAD) scheme faces major issues during subtle nodule recognition. However, radiologists have not noticed subtle nodules in beginning stage of lung cancer while a proposed CAD scheme recognizes non subtl...
IMPORTANCE: The improvement of pulmonary nodule detection, which is a challenging task when using chest radiographs, may help to elevate the role of chest radiographs for the diagnosis of lung cancer.
A new computer-aided detection scheme is proposed, the 3D U-Net convolutional neural network, based on multiscale features of transfer learning to automatically detect pulmonary nodules from the thoracic region containing background and noise. The te...
Lung cancer screening based on low-dose CT (LDCT) has now been widely applied because of its effectiveness and ease of performance. Radiologists who evaluate a large LDCT screening images face enormous challenges, including mechanical repetition and ...
