ABSTRACT

Lung cancer is a prominent reason for deaths all over the globe. A large number of cases have been detected in developed as well as developing nations. It is evident that the probability of survival in the patients is higher only if detected at its nascent stages. Thus, systems employing Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) deliver a faster diagnosis and hence can probably save lives. In the present paper, a classification model for lung nodules that uses Computed Tomography (CT) scans which classifies the given nodule into benign and malignant based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) is proposed. The architecture analyzes the images of the nodules extracted from LIDC/ IDRI and Luna-16 datasets. The nodule extraction is executed using the python package pylidc and LSTM is implemented using PyTorch. The highest achieved accuracy using the proposed architecture is 86.98%.
