Lung cancer presents the highest mortality rate, besides being one of the smallest survival rates after diagnosis. Thereby, early detection is extremely important for the diagnosis and treatment. This paper proposes three different architectures of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which is a deep learning technique, for classification of malignancy of lung nodules without computing the morphology and texture features. The methodology was tested onto the Lung Image Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative (LIDC-IDRI), with the best accuracy of 82.3%, sensitivity of 79.4% and specificity 83.8%.

Background and purpose. This study evaluated a modified specialized convolutional neural network (CNN) to improve the accuracy of medical images. Materials and Methods. We defined computed tomography (CT) images as belonging to one of the following 10 classes: head, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis with and without contrast media, with 10,000 images per class. We modified the CNN based on the AlexNet with an input size of 512 × 512. We resized the filter sizes of the convolution layer and max pooling. Using these modified CNNs, various models were created and evaluated. The improved CNN was evaluated to classify the presence or absence of the pancreas in the CT images. We compared the overall accuracy, which was calculated from images not used for training, to that of the ResNet. Results. The overall accuracies of the most improved CNN and ResNet in the 10 classes were 94.8% and 89.3%, respectively. The filter sizes of the improved CNN for the convolution layer were (13, 13), (7, 7), (5, 5), (5, 5), and (5, 5) in order from the first layer, and that of max-pooling was (7, 7). The calculation times of the most improved CNN and ResNet were 56 and 120 min, respectively. Regarding the classification of the pancreas, the overall accuracies of the most improved CNN and ResNet were 75.75% and 58.25%, respectively. The calculation times of the most improved CNN and ResNet were 36 and 55 min, respectively. Conclusion. By optimizing the filter size of the convolution layer and max-pooling of 512 × 512 images, we quickly obtained a highly accurate medical image classification model. This improved CNN can be useful for classifying lesions and anatomies for related diagnostic aid applications.
