Performance Estimation of Triaging Artificial Intelligence Based Computer-Aided Detection Algorithm in Routine Chest Radiography

chest x-rays will be analyzed by AI software for a secondary read of lung nodules. Chest x-rays will either be sent to the AI tool to be read or to radiologists to read. If the image is sent to the AI tool, the AI software will generate a report on if it detects a lung nodule or not. The image will then be sent to a radiologist to determine if there is agreement or disagreement with the AI tool.

“I've been really happy since I got that letter!”: Longitudinal patient perspectives on lung cancer screening communication

Article

作者: Ono, Sarah ; Davis, James ; Melzer, Anne C ; Golden, Sara E ; Golden, Sara E. ; Melzer, Anne C. ; Datta, Santanu ; Schweiger, Liana ; Slatore, Christopher

OBJECTIVEExperts recommend structured shared decision making when discussing lung cancer screening (LCS) and reporting low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) results. We examined patients' reactions to pre- and post-LDCT results communication processes at three medical centers in the US with established LCS programs.METHODSMulticenter, qualitative, longitudinal study of patients considering and receiving LCS using data from semi-structured interviews guided by a patient-centered communication model using conventional content analysis. We conducted 61 interviews among 32 patients (sixteen of whom had a nodule on their LDCT) at one month and 12 months after an initial LCS decision making interaction.RESULTSParticipants were mostly satisfied with LCS communication processes pre- and post-LDCT even though guideline concordant shared decision making was rare. Most participants reported no more than mild distress even if the LDCT detected a pulmonary nodule, felt relief after getting the results, and reported the perceived benefits of LCS outweighed their distress. Nearly all participants were satisfied with recommended follow-up plans. They reported that they trusted their clinicians and health care system to provide appropriate care and recommendations. They did not appear to regret their decision since almost all participants planned to get their next LDCT. However, they were at risk of non-adherence to follow-up recommendations since they often relied on the health care system to ensure they received timely follow-up.CONCLUSIONSDespite receiving guideline discordant decision-making communication, patients seem very satisfied, rarely experience severe distress, and have low decisional regret after LCS decision making and receiving the results of their LDCT.

The accurate categorization of lung nodules in CT scans is an essential aspect in the prompt detection and diagnosis of lung cancer. The categorization of grade and texture for nodules is particularly significant since it can aid radiologists and clinicians to make better-informed decisions concerning the management of nodules. However, currently existing nodule classification techniques have a singular function of nodule classification and rely on an extensive amount of high-quality annotation data, which does not meet the requirements of clinical practice. To address this issue, we develop an anthropomorphic diagnosis system of pulmonary nodules (PN) based on deep learning (DL) that is trained by weak annotation data and has comparable performance to full-annotation based diagnosis systems. The proposed system uses DL models to classify PNs (benign vs. malignant) with weak annotations, which eliminates the need for time-consuming and labor-intensive manual annotations of PNs. Moreover, the PN classification networks, augmented with handcrafted shape features acquired through the ball-scale transform technique, demonstrate capability to differentiate PNs with diverse labels, including pure ground-glass opacities, part-solid nodules, and solid nodules. Through 5-fold cross-validation on two datasets, the system achieved the following results: (1) an Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.938 for PN localization and an AUC of 0.912 for PN differential diagnosis on the LIDC-IDRI dataset of 814 testing cases, (2) an AUC of 0.943 for PN localization and an AUC of 0.815 for PN differential diagnosis on the in-house dataset of 822 testing cases. In summary, our system demonstrates eﬀicient localization and differential diagnosis of PNs in a resource limited environment, and thus could be translated into clinical use in the future.

Is there value in the routine inclusion of chest computed tomography for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor?

Article

作者: Chan, Wen-Hui ; Shen, Min-Ru ; Lai, Ying-Chieh ; Chen, Chien-Ming

PURPOSENational Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines suggest chest CT when gastrointestinal stromal tumors are larger than 2 cm. We evaluate the value of screening the chest region during initial and follow-up CT.METHODSingle institution retrospective analysis of GIST cancer registry for patients diagnosed between May 2010 and November 2019 with tumor > 2 cm. We collected the patient demographics and clinical data; reviewed all CT scans of the chest region and recorded the lung nodules. Patients were grouped into lung nodule group and non-nodule group. Categorical variables were compared with the Chi square test and continuous variables with the Mann-Whitney U test. The survival probability was determined from Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank test for comparing differences.RESULTSThe final cohort included 382 patients (median age 61 years-old [interquartile range: 52-71]) and grouped into non-nodule group (n = 284) and lung nodule group (n = 98). The frequency of the CT scan was more in lung nodule group (8 [5-12]) than in non-nodule group (4 [2-9], p < 0.001). The lung nodule group had more CT including the chest region (6 [3-10] vs 3 [1-7], p < 0.001). In progressive lung nodules (8/98 [8 %]), only one patient had confirmed lung metastasis from GIST (1/382 [3 %]). There was no difference in overall survival between nodule groups (p = 0.12).CONCLUSIONSGIST patients with tumors larger than 2 cm have extremely low risk for lung metastasis. Routine inclusion of chest CT scan in staging and follow up is unnecessary.
