Comparison between radiological semantic features and lung-RADS in predicting malignancy of screen-detected lung nodules in the National Lung Screening Trial

In this study, we investigated the predictive value of radiological semantic features and lung-RADS in pulmonary nodules malignancy risk at three screening rounds. We obtained 199 patients (139 nodule positive controls and 60 incident lung cancers) from the National Lung Screening Trial. It was found that semantic features outperformed lung-RADS at baseline and was comparable to lung-RADS at subsequent scans. We find addition of semantics features to lung-RADS improves malignancy risk prediction.
