- Abstract: Objective To explore the application value of artificial intelligence(AI)combined with multi-slice spiral CT in screening pulmonary nodules in health examination population in govern-ment departments.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the chest CT screening data of health examination population in government departments who had at least diameter of one nodule ≥3 mm.All data were analyzed using AI technology combined with manual film reading.The detection rate of pulmonary nodules was recorded.Based on the risk values predicted by AI technology,the nod-ules were divided into different risk groups,and the basic characteristics of the nodules were analyzed and compared.Results The detection rate of pulmonary nodules was 60.4％.High-risk patients were more likely to present as pure ground glass nodules or mixed ground glass nodules.The average age of individuals with pulmonary nodules was higher than those without(P＜0.05).There were sig-nificant differences in the basic characteristics of pulmonary nodules,including nature,morphology,internal signs,and external signs among different risk groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Multi-slice spiral CT examination of the chest scan is helpful for screening pulmonary nodules in large-scale physi-cal examination populations.The combination of AI technology and manual film reading can improve the accuracy of pulmonary nodule screening.
