. Current lung cancer screening protocols primarily evaluate pulmonary nodules, yet often neglect the malignancy risk associated with small nodules (≤10 mm). This study endeavors to optimize the management of pulmonary nodules in this population by d...
PURPOSE: To compare the image quality and pulmonary nodule detectability between deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-Veo (ASIR-V) in ultra-low-dose CT (ULD-CT).
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of uncertainty estimation on the performance of a Deep Learning (DL) algorithm for estimating malignancy risk of pulmonary nodules.
Deep learning plays a significant role in the detection of pulmonary nodules in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans, contributing to the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. Nevertheless, its effectiveness often relies on the availability of...
