Application value of a computer-aided diagnosis and management system for the detection of lung nodules.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems can help reduce radiologists' workload. This study assessed the value of a CAD system for the detection of lung nodules on chest computed tomography (CT) images.

Methods

The study retrospectively analyzed the CT images of patients who underwent routine health checkups between August 2019 and November 2019 at 3 hospitals in China. All images were first assessed by 2 radiologists manually in a blinded manner, which was followed by assessment with the CAD system. The location and classification of the lung nodules were determined. The final diagnosis was made by a panel of experts, including 2 associate chief radiologists and 1 chief radiologist at the radiology department. The sensitivity for nodule detection and false-positive
