摘要：

Background: It is uncertain whether a deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm (DLAD) for identifying malignant nodules on chest radiographs will help diagnose lung cancers. Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of using a DLAD in observer performance for the detection of lung cancers on chest radiographs. Materials and Methods: Among patients diagnosed with lung cancers between January 2010 and December 2014, 117 patients (median age, 69 years; interquartile range [IQR], 64-74 years; 57 women) were retrospectively identified in whom lung cancers were visible on previous chest radiographs. For the healthy control group, 234 patients (median age, 58 years; IQR, 48-68 years; 123 women) with normal chest radiographs were randomly selected. Nine observers reviewed each chest radiograph, with and without a DLAD. They detected potential lung cancers and determined whether they would recommend chest CT for follow-up. Observer performance was compared with use of the area under the alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC),sensitivity, and rates of chest CT recommendation. Results: In total, 105 of the 117 patients had lung cancers that were overlooked on their original radiographs. The average AUC for all observers significantly rose from 0.67 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.62, 0.72) without a DLAD to 0.76 (95% CI: 0.71, 0.81)with a DLAD (P<001). With a DLAD, observers detected more overlooked lung cancers (average sensitivity, 53% [56 of 105 patients] with a DLAD vs 40% [42 of 105 patients] without a DLAD) (P<.001) and recommended chest CT for more patients(62% [66 of 105 patients] with a DLAD vs 47% [49 of 105 patients] without a DLAD) (P<001). In the healthy control group,no difference existed in the rate of chest CT recommendation (10% [23 of 234 patients] without a DLAD and 8% [20 of 234 patients]with a DLAD) (P =.13). Conclusion: Using a deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm may help observers reduce the number of overlooked lung cancers on chest radiographs, without a proportional increase in the number of follow-up chest CT examinations.
