This study examines whether learning radiologist-annotated morphological features together with malignancy risk from lesion-centred 3D CT volumes improves classification performance. The Lung Image Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative (LIDC-IDRI) dataset was used, comprising 3,918 reader-level nodule annotations from 742 patients after excluding indeterminate malignancy ratings. Patient-level splitting was used for training, validation, and testing, with 112 patients and 628 reader annotations in the held-out test set. A single-task 3D convolutional neural network was compared with a multi-task model predicting malignancy risk, spiculation, and lobulation. The single-task model achieved a balanced accuracy of 0.548 and receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (ROC-AUC) of 0.552, while the multi-task model achieved 0.539 and 0.558, respectively. Patient-level bootstrap analysis showed an ROC-AUC difference of 0.005 (95% confidence interval (CI): -0.087 to 0.090) and a balanced-accuracy difference of -0.009 (95% CI: -0.067 to 0.043). The auxiliary tasks were strongly imbalanced and showed limited predictive performance. Overall, including morphological features did not clearly improve malignancy-risk classification, showing the importance of class balance, label formulation, and reader-level annotation structure in multi-task pulmonary CT analysis.
