Title
Computerized Heart and Lung Disease Detection in Low-dose CT Images
Summary
In the proposed project, we will develop deep learning methods for quantification of imaging biomarkers from low-dose CT images for detection disease and cancer related with the heart and lung. The NLST datasets collected from large population of high-risk patients are extremely valuable and will be used for training and validating the developed methods.
Aims
To develop advanced deep learning techniques for improving the imaging information quantification for better association of cancer detection and disease diagnosis through the training on large scale dataset made available by NLST.
