Table 3.

The LLF of the DLD system and the observers according to the nodule location

Non-danger zone Danger zone p-value
DLD system 83.2 (89/107) 64.2 (70/109) 0.008*
Thoracic radiologists 84.6 (181/214) 81.7 (178/218) > 0.999
Non-thoracic radiologists 77.1 (165/214) 56.4 (123/218) < 0.001*
Radiology residents 75.5 (323/428) 56.7 (247/436) < 0.001*

DLD Deep learning-based nodule detection, LLF Lesion localization fraction

*p < 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. For group-averaged comparison, corrected p-values are presented (multiplied by 4). Denominator for the LLF calculation corresponds to the total number of true lesions multiplied by the number of readers in the respective group
