High precision localization of pulmonary nodules on chest CT utilizing axial slice number labels

High precision localization of pulmonary nodules on chest CT utilizing axial slice number labels

Abstract Background Reidentification of prior nodules for temporal comparison is an important but time-consuming step in lung cancer screening. We develop and evaluate an automated nodule detector that utilizes the axial-slice number of nodules found in radiology reports to generate high precision n...
