Title
Lung cancer case prioritization tool with automated CT scan classification
Summary
Automated lung cancer case prioritisation software, which classifies CT lung scans to a reasonable accuracy for the purpose of case prioritisation. With staff and funding resources frequently being in deficit in health sectors, this tool would act as an aid for case prioritisation by indicating which CT scans represent a possible cancer case and should be reviewed first and which appear to represent healthy lungs and can be reviewed after high priority cases are addressed. The tool would reduce the time required to carry out manual case prioritisation and increase the efficiency of case processing.
