Title
Learning informative features for early diagnosis of lung cancer
Summary
The goal of our study is to derive clinically useful radiomic signatures from multimodal imaging data for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Leveraging advances in machine learning and computer vision, we will learn informative imaging features and build effective prediction models to aid the early diagnosis of lung cancer.
Aims
Aim 1: Develop and validate an automatic lung nodal detection method using deep learning techniques.
Aim 2: Develop and validate a deep learning based lung nodal classification method.
Aim 3. Apply our methods to the NLST data set in order to derive individualized indices for early predicting lung cancer.
