Management of incidental nodules in lung cancer screening: ready for prime-time?
Abstract
Current clinical management of lung nodule patients is inefficient and therefore causes patient misclassification, which increases healthcare expenses. A precise and robust lung nodule classifier could minimise healthcare costs and discomfort for patients. http://bit.ly/2oMIEwQ.
