Cancer is one of the diseases with high mortality in the 21st century, and lung cancer ranks first in all cancer morbidity and mortality. In recent years, with the rise of big data and artificial intelligence, lung cancer-assisted diagnosis based on deep learning has gradually become A popular research topic. Computer-aided lung cancer diagnosis technology is mainly the process of processing and analyzing the lung image data obtained by medical instrument imaging. The process is summarized into four steps: medical image data preprocessing, lung parenchymal segmentation, lung Nodule detection and segmentation, as well as lesion diagnosis. In order to solve the problem that the two-dimensional image model is not applicable to three-dimensional images, this paper proposes a three-dimensional convolutional neural network model suitable for lung cancer diagnosis. The model consists of two parts. The first part is a three-dimensional deep nodule detection network (FCN) model, which generates a heat map of the lung nodules. We can locate the locations of those malignant nodules through the heat map. According to the heat map generated in the first part, the second part selects those malignant nodules that are likely to be large, and then fuses the features of these selected nodules into one feature vector, showing the whole lung scan. Finally, we use this feature to classify and determine whether we have lung cancer.

Lung cancer is one of the most malignant tumors. If it can be detected early and treated actively, it can effectively improve a patient’s survival rate. Therefore, early diagnosis of lung cancer is very important. Early-stage lung cancer usually appears as a solitary lung nodule on medical imaging. It usually appears as a round or nearly round dense shadow in the chest radiograph. It is difficult to distinguish lung nodules and lung soft tissues with the naked eye. Therefore, this article proposes a deep learning-based artificial intelligence chest CT lung nodule detection performance evaluation study, aiming to evaluate the value of chest CT imaging technology in the detection of noncalcified nodules and provide help for the detection and treatment of lung cancer. In this article, the Lung Medical Imaging Database Consortium (LIDC) was selected to obtain 536 usable cases based on inclusion criteria; 80 cases were selected for examination, artificial intelligence software, radiologists, and thoracic imaging specialists. Using 80 pulmonary nodules detection in each case, the pathological type of pulmonary nodules, nonlime tuberculous test results, detection sensitivity, false negative rate, false positive rate, and CT findings were individually analyzed, and the detection efficiency software of artificial intelligence was evaluated. Experiments have proved that the sensitivity of artificial intelligence software to detect noncalcified nodules in the pleural, peripheral, central, and hilar areas is higher than that of radiologists, indicating that the method proposed in this article has achieved good detection results. It has a better nodule detection sensitivity than a radiologist, reducing the complexity of the detection process.

A typical growth of cells inside tissue is normally known as a nodular entity. Lung nodule segmentation from computed tomography (CT) images becomes crucial for early lung cancer diagnosis. An issue that pertains to the segmentation of lung nodules is homogenous modular variants. The resemblance among nodules as well as among neighboring regions is very challenging to deal with. Here, we propose an end-to-end U-Net-based segmentation framework named DA-Net for efficient lung nodule segmentation. This method extracts rich features by integrating compactly and densely linked rich convolutional blocks merged with Atrous convolutions blocks to broaden the view of filters without dropping loss and coverage data. We first extract the lung’s ROI images from the whole CT scan slices using standard image processing operations and k-means clustering. This reduces the search space of the model to only lungs where the nodules are present instead of the whole CT scan slice. The evaluation of the suggested model was performed through utilizing the LIDC-IDRI dataset. According to the results, we found that DA-Net showed good performance, achieving an 81% Dice score value and 71.6% IOU score.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based automatic lung nodule detection system improves the detection rate of nodules. It is important to evaluate the clinical value of AI system by comparing AI-assisted nodule detection with actu-al radiology reports. Objective: To compare the detection rate of lung nodules between the actual radiology reports and AI-assisted reading in lung cancer CT screening. Methods: Participants in chest CT screening from November to December 2019 were retrospectively included. In the real-world radiologist observation, 14 residents and 15 radiologists participated to finalize radiology reports. In AI-assisted reading, one resident and one radiologist reevaluated all subjects with the assistance of an AI system to lo-cate and measure the detected lung nodules. A reading panel determined the type and number of detected lung nodules between these two methods. Results: In 860 participants (57±7 years), the reading panel confirmed 250 patients with >1 solid nodule, while radiolo-gists observed 131, lower than 247 by AI-assisted reading (p<0.001). The panel confirmed 111 patients with >1 non-solid nodule, whereas radiologist observation identified 28, lower than 110 by AI-assisted reading (p<0.001). The accuracy and sensitivity of radiologist observation for solid nodules were 86.2% and 52.4%, lower than 99.1% and 98.8% by AI-assisted reading, respectively. These metrics were 90.4% and 25.2% for non-solid nodules, lower than 98.8% and 99.1% by AI-assisted reading, respectively. Conclusion: Comparing with the actual radiology reports, AI-assisted reading greatly improves the accuracy and sensi-tivity of nodule detection in chest CT, which benefits lung nodule detection, especially for non-solid nodules.
