OA06.05 Evaluation of a Deep Learning-Based Automatic Classifier for the Classification of Perifissural Nodules

Perifissural nodules (PFNs) comprise approximately 20% of screening-detected nodules and are almost certainly benign. Automatic PFN classification could therefore reduce the number of follow-up procedures required for nodule work-up. Prior work has shown some success in AI classification with limited datasets. Here we evaluate the performance of a new deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for PFN classification, trained on a dataset of nodules...
