TLDR
The CAD framework incorporating the clinical reading with the texture features extracted from LDCT increased the PPV and reduced the false positive (FP) rate in the early diagnosis of lung cancer.Abstract:
–Standard computed tomography (CT) scan is performed on lung cancer patients for progression and lesion classification. However, low-dose CT (LDCT) is commonly used in lung cancer screening for high-risk people. Extensive studies have shown that computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) using standard CT could greatly improve the diagnostic accuracy of early lung cancer. Unlike standard CT imaging, the application of radiological texture features extracted by radiologists on LDCT imaging is not well established due to lower resolution and higher variations. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible diagnosis value of texture features by comparing the classification performance of radiologic reading with radiologic reading combined with computer-aided texture features. A total of 186 biopsy-confirmed control and lung cancer cases were obtained from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). Cases were matched by various clinical parameters including age, gender, smoking status, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status, body mass index (BMI) and image appearances. We compared the subjective diagnosis of benign/malignant with the consensus readings of three radiologists. We then developed a CAD framework that imports radiologic reading features and extracts CAD features for heterogeneity quantification and data analysis. A total of 1342 CAD features were extracted. After eliminating highly correlated and redundant features, the remaining 458 features were given to a random forest algorithm, and a predicted probability of malignancy score (Pm) was calculated. Patients were grouped into 140 training (70 biopsypositive for cancer and 70 negatives) and 46 testing (20 positives and 26 negatives) sets, and a threshold value over Pm (0.5) was then used to classify the test set into cancer and non-cancer. Clinical accuracy [sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (PV)] were [0.95, 0.88, 0.86, 0.96] and [0.70, 0.69, 0.64, 0.75] for the CAD and radiologic reading, respectively. The CAD framework incorporating the clinical reading with the texture features extracted from LDCT increased the PPV and reduced the false positive (FP) rate in the early diagnosis of lung cancer. This approach shows promise for improving the accuracy of lung cancer diagnosis in the clinical environment, especially in patients with well-established risk factors.read more

Toward classifying small lung nodules with hyperparameter optimization of convolutional neural networks
TL;DR: This article explored and compared the use of random search, simulating annealing, and Tree‐of‐Parzen‐estimators algorithms of hyperparameter tuning to find the best architecture of a convolutional neural network to classify small pulmonary nodules in benign or malignant with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm.

TL;DR: Screening with the use of low-dose CT reduces mortality from lung cancer, as compared with the radiography group, and the rate of death from any cause was reduced.

TL;DR: The data suggest that radiomics identifies a general prognostic phenotype existing in both lung and head-and-neck cancer, which may have a clinical impact as imaging is routinely used in clinical practice, providing an unprecedented opportunity to improve decision-support in cancer treatment at low cost.

TL;DR: Low-dose computed tomography screening may benefit individuals at an increased risk for lung cancer, but uncertainty exists about the potential harms of screening and the generalizability of results.

Solitary pulmonary nodule: high-resolution CT and radiologic-pathologic correlation.
TL;DR: Edge and internal characteristics of pulmonary nodules evaluated with high-resolution computed tomography were correlated with the pathologic specimens in 93 patients, and malignant nodules as a group were larger than benign lesions and more commonly demonstrated a spiculated contour, lobulation, and inhomogeneous attenuation.

Lung Cancer Screening With Helical Computed Tomography in Older Adult Smokers: A Decision and Cost-effectiveness Analysis
TL;DR: Even if efficacy is eventually proven, screening must overcome multiple additional barriers to be highly cost-effective for any of the cohorts and direct-to-consumer marketing of helical CT is not advisable.
