Title
Convolutional Neural Network In The Detection Of Lung Carcinoma Using Transfer Learning Approach
Abstract
Background Lung carcinoma is the leading cause of 1.76 million deaths worldwide. GLOBOCAN 2018 report says lung cancer occupies the first position in terms of incidence and mortality rate. Reasons include limited access to timely diagnosis and treatment. Objective This research work presents the viability of using convolutional neural network (CNN) for lung carcinoma detection. The proposed network automatically detects the lung carcinomas tissues through transfer learning without the difficulty of specifying features for image classification. Subjects and methods The study involves lung CT images of 12 male and 4 female subjects, aging between 35 and 77 years. These images are obtained in Bitmap image format with a resolution of 512 x 512. Two cases namely healthy and carcinoma are taken for study. Carcinoma cases include poorly differentiated carcinoma, moderately differentiated carcinoma. The training data consists of 800 lung CT slices, validation set consists of 100 CT images, and test data consist of 100 images, respectively. Results Experimental results demonstrate the VGG16 and VGG 19 network implementation with the area under the receiver operating characteristics of 0.930 and 0.90, respectively. VGG19 compete well with a sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 100% compared to VGG16 with 98% and 88%, respectively. Conclusion Hence, the implementation of VGG16 and VGG19 with good accuracy proves that CNN used for lung carcinoma detection leading to timely diagnosis and treatment may decrease the mortality rate.
