QIBA profile on small lung nodule volume assessment and monitoring in low-dose CT
Gudrun Zahlmann, Oak Brook / United States
  1. To learn how to implement imaging procedures to make lung nodule volumetric assessments reliable and reproducible.
  2. To appreciate the critical role and responsibilities of imaging centres to perform low-dose CT imaging for screening.
  3. To understand which devices and personnel are needed and what performance measures are required to achieve reliable and reproducible nodule assessments.
15 min
Automated assessment of lung nodule volume
  1. To learn about the image acquisition parameters influencing lung volume measurements.
  2. To learn about commercially available lung volume measurement tools.
  3. To appreciate the current evidence on the performance of automated analysis tools.
15 min
Grand challenges for evaluation of the performance of automated analysis tools
Colin Jacobs, Nijmegen / Netherlands
