Title
Deep Learning on Lung CT

Summary
The project will assess the viability of deep learning in the evaluation of low dose lung CT as an automated screening process. This is aimed in particular at regions with access to low dose CT but low access to expert radiologists.

Aims

Determine if a deep learning algorithm can be designed to accurately detect clinically significant lesions in low dose lung CT. This will involve both implementation of existing work as a benchmark and development of new algorithms.
