    The study developed an integrated model to differentiate benign from malignant pulmonary pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) using clinical, radiomics, and deep learning features.

  • 2

    A total of 1,067 patients with pGGNs were included, with clinical and imaging data collected for model training and validation.

  • 3

    The Support Vector Machine classifier achieved the highest performance for distinguishing pGGNs, with a validation AUC of 0.840.

  • 4

    The integrated model combining all features achieved a validation AUC of 0.871 for benign versus malignant classification.

  • 5

    For subtype classification, the integrated model reached a validation AUC of 0.853, indicating its potential for non-invasive decision support.
