Abstract

Despite the existence of numerous models for detecting lung cancer, there is still room for achieving higher levels of accuracy. In this paper, a maximum sensitivity neural network (MSNN) has been proposed. As the name suggests, the model aims to achieve high sensitivity and offers a viable remedy to minimize the number of false positive in oder to improve the overall accuracy for lung cancer detection. The MSNN model is a promising model since it can efficiently interpret grayscale lung computed tomography (CT) scan images as inputs and can be trained using just a few images also. This model has surpassed previous deep learning models by obtaining a remarkable sensitivity of 94.6% and an accuracy of 96.9%. A sensitivity map is created, offering important insights into the critical regions for finding malignant nodules. This innovative method has shown outstanding performance in identifying lung cancer with a low false positive rate which can increase the accuracy of medical diagnoses.
