Abstract

BACKGROUND: The accurate classification of lung nodules is critical to achieving personalized lung cancer treatment and prognosis prediction. The treatment options for lung cancer and the prognosis of patients are closely related to the type of lung nodules, but there are many types of lung nodules, and the distinctions between certain types are subtle, making accurate classification based on traditional medical imaging technology and doctor experience challenging.
