Title
AI based lung nodule detection and measurement tool for CT imaging of the chest

Summary
Develop an AI model to automatically detect and measure lung nodules in CT imaging as well as track changes in the nodules over time. It would help reading physicians to detect findings in CT imaging of the chest more sensitively and fast.

Aims

To achieve higher sensitivity than general expert reading physicians with comparable specificity.
To increase speed of reading by providing a tool to automate measurements of nodules and compare those measurements to prior imaging.
