Lung cancer prediction by Deep Learning to identify benign lung nodules

IntroductionDeep Learning has been proposed as promising tool to classify malignant nodules. Our aim was to retrospectively validate our Lung Cancer Prediction Convolutional Neural Network (LCP-CNN), which was trained on US screening data, on an independent dataset of indeterminate nodules in an European multicentre trial, to rule out benign nodules maintaining a high lung cancer sensitivity.MethodsThe LCP-CNN has been trained to generate a...
