Lung Cancer Detection with 3D Ensemble Convolution Neural Network

Published: 04 March 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Lung cancer, with the highest morbidity and mortality in 21th century, is difficult to cure because people often fail to detect it in time. With the blossom of artificial intelligence and big data research, people seem to see the dawn of solving this problem. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system of lung cancer based on deep learning techniques have been a popular research topic, which aims at utilize the computer system to analyze the possibility of cancer which is beneficial to the treatment in early stages and increase the possibility of recovery. Here we propose an integrated network system based on 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), consisting mainly of two different 3D CNNs. And finally we reached 82.89% accuracy by combining 3D CNNs' feature outputs and using the softmax activation function to get the final disease probability. Also, we modified the decision making method to make the final result tending to get the negative output to decrease the false positive rate and the true positive rate reached 90.38% eventually.
