Abstract

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: Lung nodule detection is critical in improving the five-year survival rate and reducing mortality for patients with lung cancer. Numerous methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been proposed for lung nodule detection in Computed Tomography (CT) images. With the collaborative development of computer hardware technology, the detection accuracy and efficiency can still be improved.
