Diagnostic performance for pulmonary adenocarcinoma on CT: comparison of radiologists with and without three-dimensional convolutional neural network
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are often used in the area of image recognition. We constructed the three dimensional (3D)-CNN model to predict pulmonary invasive adenocarcinoma (IVA) in this study. When supported by the 3D-CNN model, a less-experienced radiologist showed improved diagnostic accuracy for diagnosing IVA without deteriorating any diagnostic performances, resulting in the increase in the sensitivity of IVA diagnosis
