TL;DR: The goal of this process was to identify as completely as possible all lung nodules in each CT scan without requiring forced consensus and is expected to provide an essential medical imaging research resource to spur CAD development, validation, and dissemination in clinical practice.
The Lung Image Database Consortium (LIDC) Data Collection Process for Nodule Detection and Annotation

Laderach,Chris Piker,Junfeng Guo,Zaid J. Towfic,David Qing,David F. Yankelevitz,Denise R. Aberle,Edwin J. R. van Beek,Heber MacMahon,Ella A. Kazerooni,Barbara Y. Croft,Laurence P. Clarke +22 more
TL;DR: A unique data collection process was developed, tested, and implemented that allowed multiple readers at distributed sites to asynchronously review CT scans multiple times and captured the opinions of each reader regarding the location and spatial extent of lung nodules.

The Lung Image Database Consortium (LIDC): a comparison of different size metrics for pulmonary nodule measurements
Anthony P. Reeves,Alberto Biancardi,Tatiyana V. Apanasovich,Charles R. Meyer,Heber MacMahon,Edwin J. R. van Beek,Ella A. Kazerooni,David F. Yankelevitz,Michael F. McNitt-Gray,Geoffrey McLennan,Samuel G. Armato,Claudia I. Henschke,Denise R. Aberle,Barbara Y. Croft,Laurence P. Clarke +14 more
TL;DR: The selection of data subsets for performance evaluation is highly impacted by the size metric choice, which is intended to facilitate the selection of unique repeatable size limited nodule subsets.

The Lung Image Database Consortium (LIDC): An Evaluation of Radiologist Variability in the Identification of Lung Nodules on CT Scans
Samuel G. Armato,Michael F. McNitt-Gray,Anthony P. Reeves,Charles R. Meyer,Geoffrey McLennan,Denise R. Aberle,Ella A. Kazerooni,Heber MacMahon,Edwin J. R. van Beek,David F. Yankelevitz,Eric A. Hoffman,Claudia I. Henschke,Rachael Y. Roberts,Matthew S. Brown,Roger Engelmann,Richard C. Pais,Christopher W. Piker,David Qing,Masha Kocherginsky,Barbara Y. Croft,Laurence P. Clarke +20 more
TL;DR: The two-phase image annotation process yields improved agreement among radiologists in the interpretation of nodules >or=3 mm, Nevertheless, substantial variability remains across radiologist in the task of lung nodule identification.

Croft,Laurence P. Clarke +24 more
TL;DR: Radiologists represent the major source of variance as compared with drawing tools independent of drawing metric used, and the random noise component is larger for the p-map analysis than for volume estimation, which appears to have more power to detect differences in radiologist-method combinations.
