Automatic lung nodule detection using multi-scale dot nodule-enhancement filter and weighted support vector machines in chest computed tomography.

PloS one
A novel CAD scheme for automated lung nodule detection is proposed to assist radiologists with the detection of lung cancer on CT scans. The proposed scheme is composed of four major steps: (1) lung volume segmentation, (2) nodule candidate extractio...

Incorporating automatically learned pulmonary nodule attributes into a convolutional neural network to improve accuracy of benign-malignant nodule classification.

Physics in medicine and biology
Existing deep-learning-based pulmonary nodule classification models usually use images and benign-malignant labels as inputs for training. Image attributes of the nodules, as human-nameable high-level semantic labels, are rarely used to build a convo...

3-D Convolutional Neural Networks for Automatic Detection of Pulmonary Nodules in Chest CT.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Deep two-dimensional (2-D) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been remarkably successful in producing record-breaking results in a variety of computer vision tasks. It is possible to extend CNNs to three dimensions using 3-D kernels to make th...

A Lightweight Multi-Section CNN for Lung Nodule Classification and Malignancy Estimation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The size and shape of a nodule are the essential indicators of malignancy in lung cancer diagnosis. However, effectively capturing the nodule's structural information from CT scans in a computer-aided system is a challenging task. Unlike previous mod...

Machine learning to predict lung nodule biopsy method using CT image features: A pilot study.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Computed tomography (CT)-based screening on lung cancer mortality is poised to make lung nodule management a growing public health problem. Biopsy and pathologic analysis of suspicious nodules is necessary to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate...

Knowledge-based Collaborative Deep Learning for Benign-Malignant Lung Nodule Classification on Chest CT.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
The accurate identification of malignant lung nodules on chest CT is critical for the early detection of lung cancer, which also offers patients the best chance of cure. Deep learning methods have recently been successfully introduced to computer vis...

Automatic lung nodule detection using a 3D deep convolutional neural network combined with a multi-scale prediction strategy in chest CTs.

Computers in biology and medicine
OBJECTIVE: A novel computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme for lung nodule detection using a 3D deep convolutional neural network combined with a multi-scale prediction strategy is proposed to assist radiologists by providing a second opinion on accura...

Single-view 2D CNNs with fully automatic non-nodule categorization for false positive reduction in pulmonary nodule detection.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In pulmonary nodule detection, the first stage, candidate detection, aims to detect suspicious pulmonary nodules. However, detected candidates include many false positives and thus in the following stage, false positive redu...

The utilisation of convolutional neural networks in detecting pulmonary nodules: a review.

The British journal of radiology
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related fatality in the world. Patients display few or even no signs or symptoms in the early stages, resulting in up to 75% of patients diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. Consequently, th...
