Which algorithm is used for lung cancer detection?
Deep learning-based algorithm for lung cancer detection on chest radiographs using the segmentation method. Sci Rep. 2022 Jan 14;12(1):727.
What is the most commonly used additional imaging technique to confirm lung cancer?
Computed tomography (CT) scan
A CT scan is more likely to show lung tumors than routine chest x-rays. It can also show the size, shape, and position of any lung tumors and can help find enlarged lymph nodes that might contain cancer that has spread.
How is lung cancer detected?
An X-ray image of your lungs may reveal an abnormal mass or nodule. A CT scan can reveal small lesions in your lungs that might not be detected on an X-ray. Sputum cytology. If you have a cough and are producing sputum, looking at the sputum under the microscope can sometimes reveal the presence of lung cancer cells.
How image processing is used in CT scan?
The salient features of the method includes (1) image preprocessing by using filtering techniques and it smoothes the image and removes speckle noise; (2) It segments the cancer nodule from the CT scan image. The segmentation method separates and identifies the touching objects in the image.
