Classifying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease status using computed tomography imaging and convolutional neural networks: comparison of model input image types and training data severity
The CNN-based model with the combined 2D tMPR images and 3D lung view as input image types had the highest performance for COPD classification, highlighting the importance of airway information and that the fusion of different types of information as input image can improve CNN-based model performance. In addition, models trained on CanCOLD demonstrated strong generalization to the more severe SPIROMICS cohort, whereas training on SPIROMICS resulted in lower performance when tested on CanCOLD. These findings suggest that training on milder COPD cases may improve classification performance across the disease spectrum.
