An AI model that includes extracted radiomic features from CT scans more than doubled the sensitivity rate for preoperative prediction of lung cancer recurrence in comparison to traditional TNM staging, according to study findings to be presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.

In comparison to pure solid nodules in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), nodules with a minor ground glass opacity component were associated with over a 38 percent higher rate of recurrence-free survival.

In addition to detecting missed lung nodules on X-rays, the AI-powered Qure.ai lung cancer continuum platform reportedly automates lung nodule measurement on CT scans and facilitates multimodality reporting.

The second-generation version of the VUZE System reportedly offers expanded functionality and incorporation of varied sources of 3D imaging data, including cone-beam CT scans obtained in the OR.

One deep learning model had a 72.4 percent accuracy rate for differentiating between benign and malignant solid pulmonary nodules on non-contrast CT while another deep learning model demonstrated an 87.1 percent AUC for differentiating benign and inflammatory findings.

Image quality, sharpness, and contrast with AI-based denoising were significantly enhanced for neck CT in comparison to conventional CT image reconstruction at 100 percent and 50 percent mAs, according to newly published research.
