Title
Development of CAD for lung nodule screening
Summary
Lung cancer is classified as a cancer with poor prognosis because it is most often diagnosed at a late stage. There is a growing popularity of implementing screening programs. The screening examination is a low-dose chest CT without injection. Therefore, the volume of chest CT images increases rapidly. In order to support radiologists in the overload of work, it is necessary to develop tools to support them.
This project aims to develop algorithms to detect and segment lung nodules on CT imaging using machine learning. The NLST database will be used for the development/validation of these algorithms.
Aims

Create algorithms to detect and segment lung nodules on low dose CT.
