Clinical evaluation of a deep-learning-based computer-aided detection system for the detection of pulmonary nodules in a large teaching hospital

To evaluate a deep-learning-based computer-aided detection (DL-CAD) software system for pulmonary nodule detection on computed tomography (CT) images and assess its added value in the clinical practice of a large teaching hospital.A retrospective analysis was performed of 145 chest CT examinations by comparing the output of the DL-CAD software with a reference standard based on the consensus reading of three radiologists. For every nodule in...
