Cancer of the lung and bronchus is the leading fatal malignancy in the United States. Five-year survival is low, but treatment of early-stage disease improves chances of survival considerably. Five-year survival is low, but treatment of early-stage disease improves chances of survival considerably.

6 End/Return to Home End/Return to Home LIDC Education Exhibit - RSNA 2003 6/99 The Challenge: Lung Cancer Given: Given: Promising results from recent studies involving the use of helical computed tomography (CT) for the early detection of lung cancer Promising results from recent studies involving the use of helical computed tomography (CT) for the early detection of lung cancer As well as rapid developments in Multi-detector CT (MDCT) technology which provide for the possibility of the detection of smaller lung nodules and offers a potentially effective tool for earlier detection. As well as rapid developments in Multi-detector CT (MDCT) technology which provide for the possibility of the detection of smaller lung nodules and offers a potentially effective tool for earlier detection. There has been an increased interest in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) techniques applied to CT imaging for lung cancer to assist radiologists’ with their decision-making.

Though it seems that the boundary of a nodule should be easy to define, we (and others) have found that there is considerable inter-reader variability in defining the boundary of a nodule. This is difficult enough with a solid nodule, but even more difficult with spiculated nodules, ground glass nodules or non-solid nodules.
