| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
AAPM-CADSC have published the CAD- Quality Assurance (QA) guideline in Medical Physics recently. We also believe the study of CAD-QA is essential to establish the high quality lung cancer CT screening. The purpose of this study is to develop a method of QA of lung cancer CT screening CAD systems. The research strategy is aimed to cover the image quality characteristic problem caused by a variety of CT image quality due to the difference of the CT manufactures, image acquisition and reconstruction parameters. PSF and SSP were measured to know the 3D-PSF. Using 3D-PSF the virtual nodules were generated. The following 4 issues were discussed in applying the virtual nodule for CAD-QA, (1) Verification of PSF-based virtual nodule method using a CT screening database, (2) virtual nodule application to CAD study as a performance evaluation method, (3) study for the sophistication of the Virtual Nodule,(4) robustness evaluation of CAD performance of algorithm differences.
