Brief Title: The Use of Artificial Intelligence to Predict Cancerous Lymph Nodes for Lung Cancer Staging During Ultrasound Imaging
Official Title: Development and Validation of a Computer-aided Algorithm Using Artificial Intelligence and Deep Neural Networks for the Segmentation of Ultrasonographic Features of Lymph Nodes During Endobronchial Ultrasound
Study ID: NCT03849040
Brief Summary: This study aims to determine if a deep neural artificial intelligence (AI) network (NeuralSeg) can learn how to assign the Canada Lymph Node Score to lymph nodes examined by endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration(EBUS-TBNA), using the technique of segmentation. Images will be created from 300 lymph nodes videos from a prospective library and will be used as a derivation set to develop the algorithm. An additional100 lymph node images will be prospectively collected to validate if NeuralSeg can correctly apply the score.
