Abstract

PURPOSE: Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Its early detection and treatment at the stage of a lung nodule improve the prognosis. In this study was proposed a new classification approach named bilinear convolutional neural network (BCNN) for the classification of lung nodules on CT images.
