Enhanced Lung Cancer Detection Using CNNs for Accurate and Efficient CT Image Classification

Lung cancer must be detected as early as possible, but it may be difficult with existing methods since they often depend on human judgment and outdated image processing. These techniques take a lot of time and are prone to errors, which produces uneven outcomes. The research provides a unique deep learning-based method for classifying lung nodules from CT images using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). By automating feature extraction and categorization, the suggested technique greatly increases diagnostic precision. The result shows superior performance over existing systems is demonstrated by evaluation measures such as AUC-ROC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. With a training duration of 12 hours, an AUC-ROC of 0.95, accuracy of 92%, sensitivity of 94%, specificity of 90%, and inference speed of 0.5 seconds per scan, the results demonstrate notable improvements in diagnostic efficiency and accuracy. Deep learning has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis of lung cancer and enhance patient care, as demonstrated by the study.
