Application of the 3D slicer chest imaging platform segmentation algorithm for large lung nodule delineation.

Accurate segmentation of lung nodules is crucial in the development of imaging biomarkers for predicting malignancy of the nodules. Manual segmentation is time consuming and affected by inter-observer variability. We evaluated the robustness and accuracy of a publically available semiautomatic segme...
