Early detection of lung cancer depends on reliable delineation of pulmonary nodules in low-dose CT (LDCT). Noisy images, low contrast and irregular nodule morphology often push voxel-based segmentation methods to their limits, producing jagged contours and unstable boundaries. A continuous shape framework called ShapeField-Nodule addresses th1Read more

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has expanded lung cancer screening (LCS) but increased pressure on radiology services. An automated artificial intelligence approach was evaluated against human reading for baseline LDCT outcomes classified using LungRADS v1.1. The analysis drew on 4104 baseline LDCTs from a single-centre cohort of heavy cu1Read more

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a valuable diagnostic tool for assessing cardiovascular risk, particularly in asymptomatic individuals. Traditionally, this assessment relies on electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography (CT) scans to quantify calcified plaque burden in the coronary arteries. However, such scans are not always 1Read more

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. Early detection of lung cancer improves survival chances, but lung cancer screening rates are much lower than those of other cancer screening tests. Placing prompts in the electronic health record systems will help to remind primary care physicians of patients’ eligibility for lung1Read more
