Artificial intelligence (AI) based algorithms have demonstrated increased accuracy in predicting the risk of Lung Cancer among patients with an incidental pulmonary nodule (IPN) on chest radiographs. Qure.ai, an AI company specializing in the reading of chest X- Rays (CXRs) by a proprietary algorithm and has developed a new model, qXR, that can report the lung nodule malignancy score (LNMS) based on lung nodule features. Our study aims to prospectively validate the lung nodule malignancy score against radiologist assessment of CT scans and Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System score (Lung-RADS).(lung RADS score explained below) Thus, lung nodule malignancy score (interpreted by qXR as a high or low category) will be compared with radiologist-based assessment probability of CT scan and Lung-RADS assessment. The results of this prospective observational study will pave the way for improved nodule management, leading to better clinical outcomes in patients with incidental pulmonary nodule (IPNs), especially concerning malignancy assessment.
