TL;DR
Lung cancers missed at low-dose CT were very difficult to detect, even in an observer study, and the use of CAD can improve radiologists' performance in the detection of these subtle cancers.
Abstract
Lung cancers missed at low-dose CT were very difficult to detect, even in an observer study. The use of CAD, however, can improve radiologists' performance in the detection of these subtle cancers.

Low-dose CT can greatly improve the likelihood of detection of small non-calcified nodules, and thus of lung cancer at an earlier and potentially more curable stage, although false-positive CT results are common.

In CT screening for lung cancer, the detected nodule commonly is either only part-solid or nonsolid, but such a nodule is more likely to be malignant than a solid one, even when nodule size is taken into account.
