Abstract

The accurate identification of malignant lung nodules on chest CT is critical for the early detection of lung cancer, which also offers patients the best chance of cure. Deep learning methods have recently been successfully introduced to computer vision problems, although substantial challenges remain in the detection of malignant nodules due to the lack of large training data sets. In this paper, we propose a multi-view knowledge-based collaborative (MV-KBC) deep model to separate malignant from benign nodules using limited chest CT data. Our model learns 3-D lung nodule characteristics by decomposing a 3-D nodule into nine fixed views. For each view, we construct a knowledge-based collaborative (KBC) submodel, where three types of image patches are designed to fine-tune three pre-trained ResNet-50 networks that characterize the nodules' overall appearance, voxel, and shape heterogeneity, respectively. We jointly use the nine KBC submodels to classify lung nodules with an adaptive weighting scheme learned during the error back propagation, which enables the MV-KBC model to be trained in an end-to-end manner. The penalty loss function is used for better reduction of the false negative rate with a minimal effect on the overall performance of the MV-KBC model. We tested our method on the benchmark LIDC-IDRI data set and compared it to the five state-of-the-art classification approaches. Our results show that the MV-KBC model achieved an accuracy of 91.60% for lung nodule classification with an AUC of 95.70%. These results are markedly superior to the state-of-the-art approaches.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
