Background:

Malignant pulmonary nodules are key indicators of early lung cancer detected via CT scans.
Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems are crucial for assisting clinicians in identifying these nodules, especially given the often asymptomatic nature of early-stage lung cancer.
Deep learning models, while promising for image analysis, face challenges with imbalanced datasets in pulmonary nodule detection, leading to high false-positive rates.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an improved CAD system for accurate detection of malignant pulmonary nodules in CT images.
To address the issue of high false positives in deep learning-based CAD systems caused by imbalanced training datasets.
To enhance the accuracy and reliability of early lung cancer diagnosis through advanced image analysis.

Main Methods:

Implemented a novel filtering step to preprocess CT datasets, removing irrelevant images before nodule detection.
Utilized a two-stage approach: initial screening of pulmonary nodule images from patient CT scans, followed by precise localization using the Faster R-CNN model.
Trained and tested the system on datasets adjusted to mitigate class imbalance issues.

Main Results:

The introduced filtering step effectively reduced false positives in the CAD system.
The enhanced system demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy, exceeding 98%.
The Faster R-CNN model successfully identified the exact locations of pulmonary nodules within the screened images.

Conclusions:

The proposed filtering method significantly improves the performance of CAD systems for pulmonary nodule detection.
This approach offers a potential solution to reduce false positives in deep learning models trained on imbalanced medical imaging data.
The developed CAD system shows promise in assisting physicians with the early and accurate diagnosis of lung cancer from CT images.
