Title
Machine Learning with Low Dose CT Data
Summary
We seek to develop method to integrate assessment of body habitus with lung cancer risk. We are developing both cross-sectional and longitudinal learning frameworks. We are targeting quantitative anatomical modeling (e.g., semantic segmentation), lung nodule identification / classification, and risk stratification. We are developing supporting image processing techniques to harmonize imaging and improve inter-site reproducibility.
Aims

* Segment anatomy within the chest CT field of view
* Identify potentially cancerous lung nodules
* Assess likelihood of cancer within specific nodules and a time point in a holistic manner.
* Perform image processing to improve inter-site consistency and enhance performance of the above objectives.
