The paper develops and validates AI models for lung cancer diagnosis, focusing on both nodule detection and cancer classification tasks. The authors train and test multiple models using various datasets, including the Duke Lung Cancer Screening Dataset (DLCSD), LUNA16, and NLST. The models’ performances are evaluated using FROC analysis and AUC metrics. For nodule detection, the DLCSD-mD model achieves an AUC of 0.93 on the internal DLCSD dataset, while for cancer classification, the ResNet50-SWS++ model records AUCs ranging from 0.71 to 0.90 across different datasets. The study highlights the importance of diverse model approaches and establishes DLCSD as a reliable resource for lung cancer AI research.

The paper helps doctors use artificial intelligence (AI) to find lung cancer earlier, which can save lives. To do this, the researchers trained many AI models using CT scans from over 3,000 patients. They tested these models on different sets of data and found that some models worked better than others. The best model for finding nodules was able to spot them in about 93% of cases, while the best model for diagnosing cancer had an accuracy rate of around 90%. This study shows how important it is to have many different AI models to choose from when trying to detect lung cancer.
