Abstract

The most common cancer-related cause of death globally is lung cancer. The key to effective lung cancer treatment and higher survival rates is early diagnosis. Converting a radiologist's diagnosing procedure to computer assisted results in more accurate results and an earlier diagnosis. The difficulty is that building a effective model for segmentation and classification. In this paper, we suggest a system for detecting lung cancer that makes use of a number of methods for precise and effective diagnosis. To enhance picture quality, our method pre-processes CT scan images using a Gaussian filter and contrast stretching. For the purpose of determining the borders of lung nodules with high precision, the U-Net architecture with the Adam optimizer is used. Then, a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) with EM optimisation and pixel padding is used to extract features. The rotational-based CNN (RBCNN) classifier successfully categorises the nodules as benign and malignant using these form variables as inputs
