AI model detects esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions on noncontrast chest CT

An AI model (EAGLE) analyzing noncontrast chest CT achieved 90.0% sensitivity for esophageal cancer and 98.5% specificity in external multicenter testing (11,466 patients), and 99.94% specificity in low-dose screening. Could enable opportunistic esophageal cancer screening.
