Classifier Ensemble Based on Computed Tomography Attenuation Patterns for Computer-Aided Detection System

Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, specifically lung cancer. Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) systems are being proposed to assist radiologists in the task of pulmonary nodule detection. In this paper, we propose a CADe system that uses Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). In the Nodule Candidate Detection (NCD) step, we used Mask Region-Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN) to detect bounding boxes in 2D slices...
