Abstract
This paper aimed to explore the adoption of deep learning algorithms in lung cancer spinal bone metastasis diagnosis. Comprehensive analysis was carried out with the aid of AdaBoost algorithm and Chan-Vese (CV) algorithm. 87 patients with lung cancer spinal bone metastasis were taken as research subjects, and comprehensive evaluation was made in terms of preliminary classification of images, segmentation results, Dice index, and Jaccard coefficient. After the case of misjudgment on whether there was hot spot was excluded, the initial classification accuracy of the AdaBoost algorithm can reach 96.55%. True positive rate (TPR) was 2.3%, and false negative rate (FNR) was 1.15%. 45 MRI images with hot spots were utilized as test set to detect the segmentation accuracy of CV, maximum between-cluster variance method (OTSU), and region growing algorithm. The results showed that the Dice index and Jaccard coefficient of the CV algorithm were 0.8591 and 0.8002, respectively, which were considerably superior to OTSU (0.6125 and 0.5541) and region growing algorithm (0.7293 and 0.6598). In summary, the AdaBoost algorithm was adopted for image preliminary classification, and CV algorithm for image segmentation was ideal for the diagnosis of lung cancer spinal bone metastasis and it was worthy of clinical promotion.
