Title
Integrating Early Detection of Heart Disease with Lung Cancer Screening Powered by AI
Summary
We have developed new AI tools that extract actionable information from low-dose lung cancer screening CT scans as well as coronary artery calcium scans. We have completed the development of CVD related AI tools and are now needing to access lung cancer screening CT scans with ground truth to test the nodule detection tools. NLST is an excellent data set for this goal.
Aims

Specific Aim 1) Test AI-CVD components in NLST for prediction of mortality and outcomes.

Specific Aim 2) Develop and test nodule based risk scoring deep learning models for prediction of lung cancer and mortality.
