Abstract
Disclosed is a system and a method for adapting a report of nodules in computed tomography (CT) scan image. A CT scan image may be resampled into a plurality of slices. A plurality of region of interests may be identified on each slice using an image processing technique. Subsequently, a plurality of nodules may be detected in each region of interest using the deep learning. Further, a plurality of characteristics associated with each nodule may be identified. The plurality of nodules may be classified into AI-confirmed nodules and AI-probable nodules based on a malignancy score. Further, feedback associated with the AI-confirmed nodules and the AI-probable may be received form a radiologist. Furthermore, data may be adapted based on the feedback. Finally, a report comprising adapted data may be generated.
