Training Set Augmentation and Biology-Aware Harmonization Improve Radiomic Models for Lung Cancer Prediction in Indeterminate Nodules
Researchers have developed improved radiomic models for predicting lung cancer in indeterminate pulmonary nodules. By augmenting the training data with nodules from later development stages and employing biology-aware harmonization techniques, the models showed significantly better performance. This approach addresses challenges posed by low malignancy rates in early nodules and variability in image acquisition protocols, leading to higher accuracy in cancer prediction. AI
