Duke Lung Cancer Screening (DLCS) Dataset

Description

Resource Type: Dataset

The Duke Lung Cancer Screening (DLCS) Dataset is a curated cohort of low-dose chest CT scans collected from a clinical lung cancer screening program and designed to support development and evaluation of AI-based virtual readers. The resource includes expert-reviewed pulmonary nodule annotations, malignancy-related labels, and benchmark models for detection and classification tasks. DLCS was developed to address limitations of existing public screening datasets by providing contemporary screening data with diverse imaging characteristics and clinically relevant lesion presentations. The dataset supports research in computer-aided detection, malignancy prediction, and virtual trial methodology for lung cancer screening.
