- The revised guidelines aim to enhance the rational use of antimicrobial prophylaxis, improving outcomes related to the risk-benefit balance for patients undergoing surgery.
Purpose: To study the variability in volume change estimates of pulmonary nodules due to segmentation approaches used across several algorithms and to evaluate these effects on the ability to predict nodule malignancy.
Methods: We obtained 100 patient image datasets from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) that had a nodule detected on each of two consecutive low dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans, with an equal proportion of malignant and benign cases (50 malignant, 50 benign). Information about the nodule location for the cases was provided by a screen capture with a bounding box and its axial location was indicated.
