Abstract

PURPOSE: Differentiating pulmonary lymphoma from lung infections using CT images is challenging. Existing deep neural network-based lung CT classification models rely on 2D slices, lacking comprehensive information and requiring manual selection. 3D models that involve chunking compromise image information and struggle with parameter reduction, limiting performance. These limitations must be addressed to improve accuracy and practicality.
