An Efficient VGG-19-ResNet50 Based Learning Model For Lung Cancer Classification
摘要
Lung cancer continues to be among the top causes of mortality globally, and early and precise detection is crucial in order to enhance survival rates. This paper discusses a mixed deep learning approach model proposed for lung cancer detection and classification from Computed Tomography (CT) scans. model uses VGG19 and ResNet50 separately, and a combined model that combines the two architectures to enhance feature extraction and classification performance. Extensive experiments were carried out on the publicly shared IQ-OTH/NCCD dataset, with 93% accuracy with ResNet50, 96% with Vgg19, and 98% with the proposed model (VGG19 + ResNet50), showing its effectiveness to distinguish between benign and cancerous lung nodules. The system can be incorporated with computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) software, assisting radiologists to identify early lung cancer and potentially improve patient outcomes.
