Description

Each nodule has three dimensions: length, width, and height. In the LUNA16_datasplit JSON file, I noticed that the nodule sizes are the same across the three dimensions, but in reality, they are different. Which dimension should I use as the size for training data—the maximum, or the minimum of the three dimensions?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the LUNA16_datasplit JSON and the lung_nodule_ct_detection training-data entry point to understand how the three dimensions are represented and consumed. Done means establishing and documenting an unambiguous size convention for training data, supported by the project’s existing data format.
