most sensitive method for detecting cancerous lung nodules. A lung nodule is a round lesion
which can be either non-cancerous or cancerous. In the CT, the lung cancer is observed as
round white shadow nodules. The possibility to obtain a manually accurate interpretation
from CT scans demands a big effort by the radiologist and might be a fatiguing process …
