Title
Virtual biopsy of pulmonary nodules
Summary
In this project, we aim at designing a computer model able to automatically assess malignancy of a detected pulmonary nodule in a CT scan.
NLST data will be used to train the computer model by extracting information from baseline and follow-up scans.
