In this work, we report the results of a deep-learning based liver lesion detection algorithm. While several liver lesion segmentation and classification algorithms have been developed, none of the previous work has focused on detecting suspicious liver lesions. Furthermore, their generalizability remains a pitfall due to their small sample size and sample homogeneity. Here, we developed and validated a highly generalizable deep-learning algorithm for detection of suspicious liver lesions. The algorithm was trained and tested on a diverse dataset containing CT exams from over 2,000 hospital sites in the United States. Our final model achieved an AUROC of 0.84 with a specificity of 0.99 while maintaining a sensitivity of 0.33.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
