Integrated AI Nodule Detection and Diagnosis for Lung Cancer Screening Beyond Size and Growth-Based Standards Compared with Radiologists and Leading Models

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2512.00281v2 Announce Type: replace Early detection of malignant lung nodules remains limited by reliance on size- and growth-based screening criteria, which can delay diagnosis. We present an integrated AI system that - unlike conventional CADe or CADx approaches - jointly performs nodule detection and malignancy assessment directly at the nodule level from low-dose CT scans within a unified aided decision framework.
