Detection of Lung Nodules from Temporal Subtraction CT Image Using Elastic Net-Based Features Selection

CT (computed tomography) is mainly used to diagnose lung cancer.Many CT images impose a heavy burden on visual screening, so a CAD (computer-aided diagnosis) system is expected to reduce the burden.In this paper, we propose an image analysis method to detect lung nodules from chest CT images using machine learning techniques.The best results were obtained for the method using LightGBM with feature reduction by Elastic Net.
