Introduction The previous chapter reviewed the lung CT AI methods to assess normal and diseased lung structure using a single TLC chest CT scan. COPD, ILD, and asthma can all…
CT Assessment of Lung Nodules—CT Versus Projection Radiography (PR) This chapter will describe the importance of detecting and assessing the risk of lung cancer in a lung nodule by lung…
This chapter will discuss the digital lung, x-rays, and key components of the x-ray CT scanner to help better understand lung CT AI scanning protocols, and to briefly review the…
In this chapter we will discuss the elements of chest CT scanning protocols that are optimized for lung CT AI applications. These lung CT AI applications can be divided into…
AI: An Intelligent Agent The foundation for this book about lung CT AI is the application of what Alan Turing described in 1936 as the “universal Turing machine.” This is…
