Computed tomography (CT) is one of the widely used imaging modalities to monitor the development and progression of lung cancer. Computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CADe/CADx) systems based on the multidisciplinary computational anatomy models support clinicians to detect early-stage cancers and decide risk-adaptive treatments. These CADe/CADx systems may have a large impact as imaging is routinely used in clinical practice, in all stages of diagnoses and treatment, providing an unprecedented opportunity to improve medical decision-support. This paper presents current status and issues of computer aided diagnosis for lung cancer CT screening.
