Lungs are the most crucial organs in a human body. Since the cancer detection began, lung cancer has been the most common terminal disease amongst all type of cancers. The contribution of deep learning, especially the convolution neural networks has widely reduced the mortality rates resulting from lung cancer. The classification of Computed Tomography (CT) images has enhanced the early diagnosis of lung cancer that has enabled victims to undergo treatment at an early stage. The resolution of the CT images have been variedly used for the accuracy of the model. Besides, the detection of lumps or anomalies in the images has greatly supported early diagnosis. Classification plays a vital role in the deep learning models to sort out the input images as positive and negative based on the attribute of the model built. However, the generalisation of classifiers has reduced the accuracy of the corresponding models built. To increase the accuracy and efficiency of the deep learning model, an optimised classification technique is used to predict lung cancer from the CT images. The purpose of optimisation here will enable the model to adapt stipulated feature extraction process according to the input images fed into the network. The model will be trained for predicting purpose given any resolution of the images. KEYWORDS: Lung cancer, CT images, Classification techniques, Optimised Classification, Prediction

Abstract Remote medical prognosis application is a category of medical tests tool designed to collect patients’ body conditions and offer diagnosis results synchronously. However, most online applications are predicated on a simple chat bot which typically redirect patients to other online medical websites, which undermines the user experience and may prompt useless information for their reference. To tackle these issues, this paper proposed a medical prognosis application with deep learning techniques for a more responsive and intelligent medical prognosis procedure. This application can be break down into three parts-lung cancer detection, a database-supporting medical QA bot and a Hierarchical Bidirectional LSTM model (HBDA). A 3D-CNN model is built for the lung cancer detection, with a sequence of sliced CT images as inputs and outputs a probability scaler for tumor indications. A knowledge graph is applied in the medical QA bot implementation and the HBDA model is designed for semantic segmentation in order to better capture users’ intention in medical questions. For the performance of the medical prognosis, since we have limited computer memory, the 3D-CNN didn’t perform very well on detecting tumor conditions in the CT images with accuracy at around 70%. The knowledge graph-based medical QA bot intelligently recognize the underlying pattern in patients’ question and delivered decent medical response. The HBDA model performs well on distinguish the similarities and disparities between various medical questions, reaching accuracy at 90%. These results shed light for the feasibility of utilizing deep learning techniques such as 3D-CNN, Knowledge Graph, and Hierarchical Bi-directional LSTM to simulate the medical prognosis process.

Abstract Detection of malignant lung nodules at an early stage may allow for clinical interventions that increase the survival rate of lung cancer patients. The use of hybrid deep learning techniques to detect nodules will improve the sensitivity of lung cancer screening and the interpretation speed of lung scans.Accurate detection of lung nodes is an important step in computed tomography (CT) imaging to detect lung cancer. However, it is very difficult to identify strong nodes due to the diversity of lung nodes and the complexity of the surrounding environment.Here, we proposed alung nodule detection and classification with CT images based on hybrid deep learning (LNDC-HDL) techniques. First, we introduce achaotic bird swarm optimization (CBSO) algorithm for lung nodule segmentation using statistical information. Second, we illustrate anImproved Fish Bee (IFB) algorithm for feature extraction and selection process. Third, we develop hybrid classifier i.e. hybrid differential evolution based neural network (HDE-NN) for tumor prediction and classification.Experimental results have shown that the use of computed tomography, which demonstrates the efficiency and importance of the HDE-NN specific structure for detecting lung nodes on CT scans, increases sensitivity and reduces the number of false positives. The proposed method shows that the benefits of HDE-NN node detection can be reaped by combining clinical practice.

Lung cancer detection has been a trending research area, as automating the medical diagnosis has significant benefits. Automatic identification of lung cancer from the CT images is considered as a significant technique in recent years. Even though various techniques are developed in the literature for lung cancer detection, designing an effective technique that can automatically detect lung cancer is challenging. Hence, this research aims to develop an automated lung cancer detection scheme through deep learning and hybrid optimization algorithm. Here, the CT images from the lung cancer database are pre-processed and provided to the lung segmentation, which is carried out by active contour. Then, the nodules in the segmented image are identified using the grid-based scheme. Several features, like intensity, wavelet, and scattering transform, are mined from the segmented image and given to the proposed salp-elephant herding optimization algorithm-based deep belief network (SEOA-DBN), for the classification. Here, SEOA is newly developed by considering the qualities of salp swarm algorithm (SSA) and elephant herding optimization (EHO). For the experimentation, lung CT images are considered from the standard database and compared with the various states of art techniques. From the results, it is evident that the proposed SEOA-based DBN achieved significant performance with 96% accuracy.


Lung cancer is the foremost cause of cancer-related deaths world-wide [1]. It affects 100,000 Americans of the smoking population every year of all age groups, particularly those above 50 years of the smoking population [2]. In India, 51,000 lung cancer deaths were reported in 2012, which include 41,000 men and 10,000 women [3]. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men; however, in women, it ranked ninth among all cancerous deaths [4]. It is possible to detect the lung cancer at a very early stage, providing a much higher chance of survival for the patients.

Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest fatality rate and nearest to our lives. It poses a great threat to human health and it mainly occurs in smokers. In our country, with the acceleration of industrialization, environmental pollution, and population aging, the cancer burden of lung cancer is increasing day by day. In the diagnosis of lung cancer, Computed Tomography (CT) images are a fairly common visualization tool. CT images visualize all tissues based on the absorption of X-rays. The diseased parts of the lung are collectively referred to as pulmonary nodules, the shape of nodules is different, and the risk of cancer will vary with the shape of nodules. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is a very suitable method to solve this problem because the computer vision model can quickly scan every part of the CT image of the same quality for analysis and will not be affected by fatigue and emotion. The latest advances in deep learning enable computer vision models to help doctors diagnose various diseases, and in some cases, models have shown greater competitiveness than doctors. Based on the opportunity of technological development, the application of computer vision in medical imaging diagnosis of diseases has important research significance and value. In this paper, we have used a deep learning-based model on CT images of lung cancer and verified its effectiveness in the timely and accurate prediction of lungs disease. The proposed model has three parts: (i) detection of lung nodules, (ii) False Positive Reduction of the detected nodules to filter out “false nodules,” and (iii) classification of benign and malignant lung nodules. Furthermore, different network structures and loss functions were designed and realized at different stages. Additionally, to fine-tune the proposed deep learning-based mode and improve its accuracy in the detection Lung Nodule Detection, Noudule-Net, which is a detection network structure that combines U-Net and RPN, is proposed. Experimental observations have verified that the proposed scheme has exceptionally improved the expected accuracy and precision ratio of the underlined disease.
