Abstract: Although chest CT scans are an effective means of diagnosing lung cancer, there are still problems such as the heavy burden on physicians. To solve this problem, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems are being introduced. Conventional CAD systems are based on a method that uses only image information. In this study, we propose a method for identifying nodular shadows that integrates a composite image created from multi-slice CT images and clinical information such as the patient's age, sex, and medical history in the medical record. The proposed method extracts features from the multi-section CT and clinical information, respectively, integrates the features, and then performs binary classification of nodules and vessels using a classifier. The proposed method achieved a very high accuracy of Accuracy=0.983, TPR=0.987, and FPR=0.018.
