Title
Early Detection of Lung Cancer
Summary
My team and I aim to create software that can take DICOM images as input and make a prediction on whether or not this patient currently has cancer. If the patient does not have cancer, it will make a prediction of the chance that the patient has to contract cancer in the future.

Detect whether cancer exists
Predict the chance of contracting cancer
