Enhancing Detection of Actionable Lung Nodules and Lung Cancer through Chest X-Rays using Artificial Intelligence: A prospective Observational Study 

Industry: W. Martin Smith Award

Principal Investigator: Bruno Hochhegger

Project Description: The hypothesis is that AI based Computer Aided Detection (CAD) device can help physicians detect more nodules on CXR and this can potentially increase the number of cancers diagnosed. Specifically, the following questions are relevant: 1) Can CAD support increase the number of high-risk nodules detected in CXR? 2) How many of these nodules are added to the lung nodule management program? 3) How many of these nodules have final diagnosis of lung cancer?
