AI reads lung scans to catch cancer earlier
NCT ID NCT07360145
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors find and describe lung nodules on CT scans. Lung nodules can be a sign of early-stage lung cancer, but telling harmless ones from dangerous ones is hard. The AI will learn from 329 adults' CT images and biopsy results to see if it can match or beat a team of specialists.
