Agenda
4. Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant tumor
characterized by uncontrolled growth of the cell in tissues of the lung.
Fundamental to the diagnosis of lung cancer in CT scans is the detection and
interpretation of lung nodules.
It is mandatory to treat this to avoid spreading its growth by metastasis to
other parts of the body.
Most cancers that start in the lung are carcinomas.
1.1 Lung Cancer
6. Early diagnosis is key to improving patients' survival rates.
CT is one of the modest medical imaging methods to diagnose
the lung cancer. The performance of optimization algorithms to
extract the tumor from the lung image has been implemented
and analyzed.
Use of MRI in the evaluation of pulmonary nodules has thus far
been limited. The reasons include limited spatial resolution, high
susceptibility differences between air spaces and pulmonary
interstitium, and the presence of respiratory and cardiac motion
artifacts.
To improve diagnostic accuracy, computer-aided diagnosis
(CAD) algorithms have been developed to assist lung cancer
detection.
1.2 Lung cancer detection techniques
7. The automatic lung cancer detection process is divided into two processes such as extracting all suspected
candidate nodules, and classifying the extracted nodules into two categories as positive and false-positive
nodules.
A multi-resolution 2D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model was proposed by means of
knowledge transfer for automatic lung cancer detection.
However, this model is limited in capturing the contextual information in the images.
This research focuses on improving the lung cancer detection accuracy by reducing false identification of
nodule and reducing computational complexity.

Lung nodule detection Techniques
16. Problem definition
The 2D CNN model used in MRCNN-KT method is limited
in capturing the Contextual information between slices.
In MRCNN-KT method, some types of nodules are not fully
represented or not fully highlighted which may lead to the
false identification of nodules.
The computational complexity of 3D CNN is high, requiring
significant computational resources and sized-based
assessment of the lung nodule is a challenging task.
18. Objectives of the Research Work
To capture contextual information between slices, a 3D CNN model is considered.
To reduce false positive and false negative for lung nodule identification, a new
iteratively optimized deep learning method is proposed.
To reduce the complexity of 3D CNN, the parameter size of its convolutionary
filters is reduced without the use of principled learning methods to cause
degradation in its accuracy.
To increase the detection of various sizes of lung nodules, a two-stream model is
proposed for CNN feature and geometric features.
20. 20
MR3DCNN-KT
The radiological heterogeneity might result in the invisibility of some nodules whereas other non-
nodules are highlighted.
The invisibility highlight is easy to give rise to the difficulty of identifying nodules and non-
nodules, directly leading to an increase in false positive candidates and false negative candidates.
This reduces the efficiency of lung nodule classification.
Moreover, the lung nodules are typically in various size and shapes.
Some lung tissues are very similar to the real nodules in shape which may lead to an increase in
false positives.
A network model identifies larger nodules effectively than the small lung nodules.
Hence, the variable shapes of lung nodules also pose a challenge for lung nodule classification.
To address those problems, a Multi Resolution-Convolutional Neural Network (MR-CNN) is
introduced for lung nodule candidate classification by the way of knowledge transfer.
With this method, both small nodules seemingly in low resolution and large nodules seemingly in
high resolution can be recognized.
Multi-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network
21. In MR-CNN model, five sigmoid classifiers are
reduces with an appended number from 1 to 5.
Each side-output branch is connected to different
layers from the backbone of the network.
The receptive field of each side output branch can be
obtained by calculating the receptive field of the
corresponding layer in the backbone of the network.
According to this each side, the corresponding
relationship between each branch and the receiving
field is calculated.
Each side-output branch has different receptive field
size.
Calculate complete the extraction of different
resolution features by integrating all of these feature
maps in different receptive field sizes.

MR3DCNN-KT
Knowledge transfer can be carried out from the training process of the source task into the
target algorithm to help improve the learning of the target predictive function.
However, since the classification method of the target field (malignant nodule) is based on the
whole image rather than on pixels, the loss function must be improved, such as, being
calculated over the whole image.
Besides that, in the test phase, in order to meet the requirements of image-wise classification
accuracy for the target domain, the test method is improved too.
In MRCNN-KT, 2D CNN is used.
In 2D CNN, convolutions are applied on the 2D feature maps to compute features from the
spatial dimensions only.
It limited to handle the contextual information in images.
In order to handle the contextual information in the images, 3D CNN is used in MRCNN-KT.
Knowledge Transfer
23. 23
MR3DCNN-KT
3D CNN generates multiple information from various image slice and performs convolution and sub
sampling separately in each slice of images.
The final feature representation is obtained by combining information from all slices of image.
3D convolution is performed in convolutional stages of 3D CNN to compute features from both spatial
and temporal dimensions.
The 3D convolution is achieved by convolving a 3D kernel to the cube formed by stacking multiple
contiguous frames together.
By this construction, the feature maps in the convolution layer are connected to multiple contiguous
frames in the previous layer, thereby capturing motion information.
Formally, the value at position x, y, z on the jth feature map in the ith layer is given by
3D CNN

The training data preparation is one of the biggest obstacle in these supervised deep learning models for lung
nodule detection.
Since, the manual labeling requires tedious and time-consuming labors.
Sometimes, even make mistakes on the label.
Especially for mapping functional network in large scale datasets such as hundreds of thousands of lung
images are used.
It leads to the manual labelling method will become almost infeasible.
To overcome this problem, a new Iteratively Optimized deep learning CNN (IO-CNN) framework was
introduced to tackle both network recognition and training data labelling tasks.
In this framework, it enables the functional brain networks recognition task to a fully automatic large-scale
classification procedure.
IO-CNN framework has superior spatial pattern modelling capability in dealing with various types lung
nodule images, and the iterative optimization algorithm can gradually accommodate the mistaken labels
introduced by the fully automatic but week label initialization, eventually converging to a fine-grained
classification accuracy.
The core idea of weak initialization for the IO-CNN is to use spatial overlap rate to roughly model the
training data label distribution, and then optimize the distribution through IO-CNN training.
IOCNN
39. By using deep iterative CNN with week label initialization, the week label images are discarded and
also the high optimal lung images are identified more accurately.
In this phase, the lung nodule detected is optimize.
By using iterative training in IO-CNN framework, the optimized lung node images are identified
easily.
In the next phase of this work, extracting the accuracy of lung nodule images are determined between
the slices of image.

50. In this phase of the research work , the lung nodule images are extracted both the spatial and temporal information
by using the bottleneck-based 3D depthwise separable CNN architecture.
In this architecture, the images are captured in the basis of 3d dimensional features.
Moreover, the lung nodule image is scattered.
The efficient learning of specific location information is achieved by using the concept of depthwise convolution
in each lung image.
For the temporal information the 3d pointwise convolution can be used to learn the linear combination among
sequential frames.
3d model performs two types of the convolutional filter methods for lung nodule detection are
1) point-wise convolutional filter
2) depthwise convolutional filter

IO-MR3D-DSCNN -KT
A 3D depth wise separable convolutional neural network is used to effectively infer the intraction
force only from a lung nodule images.
The spatial-temporal information are identified by using 3D Depthwise convolutional neural
network.
spatial feature extraction: The 2D depthwise convolution was applied to each frame of the input
video, that is the process of learning the spatial information independent of the channel was applied
to each frame.
Temporal feature extraction: The 3D pointwise convolution was applied to learn the linear
combination among the channels of adjacent lung nodule images.
Depthwise Convolution Filter
52. 52
IO-MR3D-DSCNN -KT
Depthwise Convolution Filter
The proposed 3D depthwise separable CNN method first extract the spatial feature information
based on the 2D DWC method in the first sequential image from the video clip; the same DWC
filters are used for the other sequential images.
Thus, the diagram shared marks were found on frames 2 and 3.
In that, shared weight parameters are used in the 3D Depthwise separable CNN, and the no of a
parameters are not significantly increased when compared with the traditional 3D CNN.
At last of the 3D depthwise separable CNN method, the 3D Point-wise convolutional filter were
employed to extract the temporal feature information.
55. DWC filters are trained independently for each channel and do not successfully utilize the spatial
information among lung nodule images.
Consequently, this can lead to performance degradation. In, the depthwise separable convolution
(DSC) filter, which combines the DWC filter with the pointwise convolution (PWC) filter, FPWC ∈
K1×1, for learning the correlation among the channels in the layer ends are used.
The dsc-based methods could overcome the dwc’s deficiency (i.E., The absence of learning the
information among channels) and simultaneously reduce the computational complexity involved in
the deep learning network.
In the end, the dsc-based approach is similar to decomposing the existing 2d convolutional layer
into two separate procedures are dwc layer and pwc layer.

66. In the earlier phase of this research work, only dimensional lung nodules are considered
when determining and characterizing lung nodules.
It is more difficult to manually and semi-automatically calculate nodules and their error of
measuring instrument when used under reference condition.
In this respect, the error calculates the difference in the calculation of nodule.
In this phase of the research work, the different sizes of lung nodules are predicted for the
diagnosis of lung cancer.
Two different phase are considered in the iteratively optimized multi-resolution feature
enriched 3 dimensional depthwise separable cnn and knowledge transfer (io-mr3d-
fedscnn-kt) for prediction of various size lung nodule.

Since it functions as taking attention on discriminative regions automatically.
It is called an attention stream.

Overall Result and Discussion
The performance of proposed lung cancer detection techniques is analysed by
comparing with other existing techniques using MATLAB 2018a.
In this experiment, a patient lung CT scan dataset from Kaggle’s Data Science
Bowl 2017 dataset is used. This d dataset contains labeled data for 2101
patients, in which 1261 data are used for training and 840 data are used for testing
process.
For each patient the data consists of CT scan data and a label (0 for no cancer, 1
for cancer). The comparative analysis is made in terms of accuracy, precision,
recall, F-measure, error rate and seperability.
It is proved that the proposed IO-MR3D-FEDSCNN-KT technique has high
accuracy, precision, recall, f-measure and seperability and lower error rate than
other lung cancer detection techniques.
The accuracy of proposed method (IO-MR3D- FEDSCNN -KT) is 10.22% greater
than existing method (MRCNN-KT) for lung nodule detection.
87. 87
Overall Result and Discussion
The precision of proposed method (IO-MR3D- FEDSCNN -KT) is 9.45% greater
than existing method (MRCNN-KT) for lung nodule detection.
The Recall of proposed method (IO-MR3D- FEDSCNN -KT) is 9.38% greater than
existing method (MRCNN-KT) for lung nodule detection.
The F Measure of proposed method (IO-MR3D- FEDSCNN -KT) is 9.43% greater
than existing method (MRCNN-KT) for lung nodule detection.
The error rate of proposed method (IO-MR3D- FEDSCNN -KT) is 66.6% lower than
existing method (MRCNN-KT) for lung nodule detection.
The seperability of proposed method (IO-MR3D- FEDSCNN -KT) is 3.57% greater
than existing method (MRCNN-KT) for lung nodule detection.
This is concluded that the IO-MR3D-FEDSCNN-KT technique effectively detects
the lung cancer.
88. The main aim of this research is increasing the detection accuracy of lung cancer.
Initially, MR3DCNN-KT method is proposed to extract the features from spatio-temporal dimensions for obtaining the
contextual information between slices.
But, it is time-consuming for large-scale datasets.
So, IO-MR3DCNN-KT method is proposed to enable an automatic labeling for large-scale datasets and reduce the false
detection rate.
But, this method has high complexity.
As a result, IO-MR3D-DSCNN-KT method is proposed for reducing the parameter size of convolutional filters without
degrading the detection accuracy.
However, the sized-based measurement of the lung nodule is still a challenging process.
Therefore, IO-MR3D-FEDSCNN method is proposed to predict the various sizes of lung nodules based on different
features for increasing the detection accuracy efficiently.
Finally, the experimental results proved that the proposed IO-MR3D-FEDSCNN method achieves better performance
than the other method in terms of precision, recall, f-measure and accuracy.
