AI spots hidden adrenal nodules on routine chest scans
NCT ID NCT07198152
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is developing an artificial intelligence tool to automatically detect adrenal nodules in low-dose chest CT scans taken during routine physical exams. Researchers will collect 600 chest CT images, train the AI to recognize adrenal nodules, and measure its diagnostic accuracy. The goal is to create a software that helps doctors find these nodules earlier without additional scans or costs.
