Delta radiomic features improve prediction for lung cancer incidence: A nested case–control analysis of the National Lung Screening Trial

摘要

BackgroundCurrent guidelines for lung cancer screening increased a positive scan threshold to a 6 mm longest diameter. We extracted radiomic features from baseline and follow‐up screens and performed size‐specific analyses to predict lung cancer incidence using three nodule size classes (<6 mm [small], 6‐16 mm [intermediate], and ≥16 mm [large]).
