Lung Interval Challenge
We propose to organize though IEEE ISBI 2018 conference, where the participants are required to develop algorithms or re-package computational methods with potential clinical utility to identify malignancy. We will provide sequential low-dose CT (LDCT) scans at two screening intervals from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), with matched identified nodules from the same subject. We would like the participating teams to provide estimated nodules dimensions (longest diameter, volume) in the screening interval and the probability of malignancy. The teams are open to use any radiomic descriptors for nodules across time points and or change in size measurements including doubling time (DT) toward their assessment.
1) Organize Community wide Challenge through IEEE ISBI using diagnostic lung scan with a matched prior baseline scan.
2) Promote the discovery of imaging based biomarker to predict lung cancer status given CT scans.
3) Disseminate findings of the participants in scholarly publication that promotes the use of quantitative image based biomarkers.
