Abstract

PURPOSE: Currently, deep learning methods for the classification of benign and malignant lung nodules encounter challenges encompassing intricate and unstable algorithmic models, limited data adaptability, and an abundance of model parameters.To tackle these concerns, this investigation introduces a novel approach: the 3D Global Coordinated Attention Wide Inverted ResNet Network (GC-WIR). This network aims to achieve precise classification of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules, leveraging its merits of heightened efficiency, parsimonious parameterization, and robust stability.
