Summary
This algorithm analyzes non-contrast CT scans of the thorax and predicts the lung cancer risk. The algorithm is described in this publication by Fangzhou Liao, Ming Liang, Zhe Li, and Xiaolin Hu and the code is publicly available on Github.
This algorithm was developed as part of the Kaggle Data Science Bowl in 2017 and won the first place in this challenge.
