Title
The Practical Application of the Lung Cancer Risk Prediction Model 'Sybil': Replicating and Validating Study Results in Taiwan

Summary
Our intention is to replicate and validate the findings of the paper titled "Sybil: A Validated Deep Learning Model to Predict Future Lung Cancer Risk From a Single Low-Dose Chest Computed Tomography." This study demonstrated promising results, which prompts our interest in applying this method to the NLST dataset and beyond. Our ultimate goal is to reproduce the model outlined in the paper and adapt it for real-world uses in Taiwan.

Aims

1.Reproduce the Sybil model using the NLST dataset to replicate its findings.
2. Implement the Sybil model in practical healthcare settings within Taiwan.
