Purpose To evaluate the performance of a deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system at detecting pulmonary nodules on CT by comparing radiologists' readings with and without CAD. Materials and methods A total of 120 chest CT images were randomly selected from patients with suspected lung cancer. The gold standard of nodules >= 3 mm was established by a panel of three expert radiologists. Two less experienced radiologists read the images without and afterward with CAD system. Their reading times were recorded. Results The radiologists' sensitivity increased from 20.9% to 38.0% with the introduction of CAD. The positive predictive value (PPV) decreased from 70.5% to 61.8%, and the F1-score increased from 32.2% to 47.0%. The sensitivity significantly increased from 13.7% to 32.4% for small nodules (3-6 mm) and from 33.3% to 47.6% for medium nodules (6-10 mm). CAD alone showed a sensitivity of 70.3%, a PPV of 57.9%, and an F1-score of 63.5%. Reading time decreased by 11.3% with the use of CAD. Conclusion CAD improved the less experienced radiologists' sensitivity in detecting pulmonary nodules of all sizes, especially including a significant improvement in the detection of clinically important-sized medium nodules (6-10 mm) as well as small nodules (3-6 mm) and reduced their reading time.
