Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThis is an excellent an excellent study, which is of high importance for the specialists involved in CT-based lung cancer diagnostics and screening. The authors may consider some additional issues in order to attract wider audience of medical professionals:
Brief introductory overview on phantom studies may be inserted in the Introduction.
Relevant studies addressing interobserver variability may be mentioned in the Discussion.
Limitation of imaging technologies deserve to be acknowledged in the Discussion; for example, there are promising studies which utilized “liquid biopsy” (plasma ctDNA or microRNA testing) for subjects with suspicious nodules.
