Artificial Intelligence in Lung Cancer Screening

Development of an Artificial Intelligence Model in Lung Cancer Screening for the Diagnosis of Lung Nodules and Risk Stratification in Subjects With Occupational and/or Smoking Exposure

Single-center, non-profit, observational, retrospective study of collection of clinical and amnestic data and images to create, implement and develop a pilot model of an integrated virtual platform.

The project we propose is a study whose objective was to develop an artificial intelligence program integrated into a web-based platform for the optimization of the performance of lung cancer screening for the diagnosis of lung nodules and risk stratification in subjects exposed to environmental carcinogens and/or cigarette smoke.
