Using Deep Learning for Pulmonary Nodule Detection & Diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study uses a revolutionary image recognition method, deep learning, for the classification of potentially malignant pulmonary nodules. Deep learning is based on deep neural networks. We report results of our initial findings and compare performance of deep neural nets using a combination of different network topologies and optimization parameters. Classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the network performance are assessed for each of the four topologies.

Automatic Lung Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Using Hand Crafted and Deep Learning Features
This paper presents a lung nodule detection and classification system which utilizes a combination of hand crafted and deep learning features. Hand crafted features were obtained from modified methods of bag of frequencies, and taxonomic indices. We included a robust radius estimation algorithm that resulted in an average error of 1.29 pixels. Hand crafted features were obtained from 3D low dos...
متن کاملA New Computer-Aided Detection System for Pulmonary Nodule in CT Scan Images of Cancerous Patients
Introduction: In the lung cancers, a computer-aided detection system that is capable of detecting very small glands in high volume of CT images is very useful.This study provided a novelsystem for detection of pulmonary nodules in CT image. Methods: In a case-control study, CT scans of the chest of 20 patients referred to Yazd Social Security Hospital were examined. In the two-dimensional and ...
متن کاملEvaluate the Malignancy of Pulmonary Nodules Using the 3D Deep Leaky Noisy-or Network
Automatic diagnosing lung cancer from Computed Tomography (CT) scans involves two steps: detect all suspicious lesions (pulmonary nodules) and evaluate the wholelung/pulmonary malignancy. Currently, there are many studies about the first step, but few about the second step. Since the existence of nodule does not definitely indicate cancer, and the morphology of nodule has a complicated relation...
متن کاملLung-Deep: A Computerized Tool for Detection of Lung Nodule Patterns using Deep Learning Algorithms Detection of Lung Nodules Patterns
The detection of lung-related disease for radiologists is a tedious and time-consuming task. For this reason, automatic computer-aided diagnosis (CADs) systems were developed by using digital CT scan images of lungs. The detection of lung nodule patterns is an important step for the automatic development of CAD system. Currently, the patterns of lung nodule are detected through domain-expert kn...
متن کاملAutomated classification of pulmonary nodules through a retrospective analysis of conventional CT and two-phase PET images in patients undergoing biopsy
Objective(s): Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination is commonly used for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules since it provides both anatomical and functional information. However, given the dependence of this evaluation on physician’s subjective judgment, the results could be variable. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated scheme for the classific...
