Deep Learning-Based Slice Thickness Reduction for Computer-Aided Detection of Lung Nodules in Thick-Slice CT [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems for lung nodule detection often face challenges with 5 mm computed tomography (CT) scans, leading to missed nodules. This study assessed the efficacy of a deep learning-based slice thickness reduction technique from 5 mm to 1 mm to enhance CAD performance.
