Patient-specific models for lung nodule detection and surveillance in CT images.

Patient-specific models for lung nodule detection and surveillance in CT images.

The purpose of this work is to develop patient-specific models for automatically detecting lung nodules in computed tomography (CT) images. It is motivated by significant developments in CT scanner technology and the burden that lung cancer screening and surveillance imposes on radiologists. We prop...
