Title
Computer-Aided Diagnostic System for Lung Nodule Detection, Localization, Attribution, and Classification using Deep Learning
Summary
This project will focus on developing a deep learning model for estimating likelihood of lung nodule malignancy in LDCTs. To train this model, we will first develop segmentation, localization, and characterization models that will feed results into the final neural network. The goal is developing software tools and a CAD screening system for lung cancer. This project will entail additional labeling of cases with model-specific features to enhance the existing dataset and testing a variety of convolutional neural networks and deep learning models.
Aims
1) Create a model for anatomic lung segmentation of lobes and bronchi.
2) Create a model for detecting and localizing nodules.
3) Create a model for characterizing nodules (size, volume, calcification pattern, lobulation, spiculation, pleural retraction).
4) Create a model for estimating nodule malignancy likelihood and Lung-RADS category classification.
