Abstract

Lung Nodules detection plays an important role to detect early stage lung cancer. Early stage lung cancer detection can considerably increases the surviving rate of patients. Radiologist diagnosis the Computerized Tomography (CT) images by detecting lung nodules. This task of locating lung nodules from CT images is rigorous and becomes even more challenging due to the structure of lung parenchyma region and also due to the size of lung nodules is small even less that 3 cm. Many Computer Aided Diagnosis CAD systems were proposed to detect lung nodules to assist radiologists. Recently, Deep learning neural network has found its way into lung nodule detection system. Deep learning neural network has shown better results and performance than traditional feature extraction based lung nodule detection techniques. This paper will focus on different deep learning neural network proposed for lung nodule detection and also we will analyze the result and performance of this detection network.
