The widespread application of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has significantly increased the detection of pulmonary small nodules, while accurate prediction of their growth patterns is crucial to avoid overdiagnosis or underdiagnosis. This article reviews recent research advances in predicting pulmonary nodule growth based on CT imaging, with a focus on summarizing key factors influencing nodule growth, such as baseline morphological parameters, dynamic indicators, and clinical characteristics, traditional prediction models (exponential and Gompertzian models), and the applications and limitations of radiomics-based and deep learning models. Although existing studies have achieved certain progress in predicting nodule growth, challenges such as small sample sizes and lack of external validation persist. Future research should prioritize the development of personalized and visualized prediction models integrated with larger-scale datasets to enhance predictive accuracy and clinical applicability.
Human society has entered the age of artificial intelligence(AI). Medical practice and education are undergoing profound changes. The government strongly advocates the application of AI in the field of education and it has been incorporated into the national strategy. The integration of medical education and AI technology is changing the paradigm of modern medical education. This paper introduces the current application status of AI in medical education, and analyzes the existing problems and proposes corresponding resolutions, so as to lay a foundation for promoting the integration of medical education and AI.
