Lung Nodule Characterization by Artificial Intelligence Techniques

• Conditions: Incidental Lung Nodule

• Registration Number: NCT03843164
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Brief Summary

Management of incidental lung nodule is difficult and mainly based on simple morphometric characteristics such as maximum size and shape. Radiomics could play a role in simplifying this management by orientating towards a benign or a malignant origin, by comparing advanced characteristics to a large database of lung nodules.

The primary purpose is to evaluate the performances of a novel tool based on radiomics to characterize incidental lung nodules, discovered on computed tomography.

The secondary objectives are:

* to evaluate the variation in the performances of the software based on various technical aspects of the CT, such as radiation dose, reconstruction algorithm, type of scanner,...

* to compare the performances of this software to those of expert readers,

* to analyze the potential impact of this software on patient's management.
