Lung cancer has the highest death rate of any other cancer in the world. Detecting lung cancer early can increase a patient’s
survival rate. Te corresponding work presents the method for improving the computer•aided detection (CAD) of nodules
present in the lung area in computed tomography (CT) images. Te main aim was to get an overview of the latest tools and
technologies used: acquisition, storage, segmentation, classifcation, processing, and analysis of biomedical data. After the analysis,
a model is proposed consisting of three main steps. In the frst step, threshold values and component labeling of 3D components
were used to segment the lung volume. In the second step, candidate nodules are identifed and segmented with an optimal
threshold value and rule•based trimming. It also selects 2D and 3D features from the candidate segmented node. In the fnal step,
the selected features are used to train the SVM and classify the nodes and classify the non•nodes. To assess the performance of the
proposed framework, experiments were performed on the LIDC data set. As a result, it was observed that the number of false
positives in the nodule candidate was reduced to 4 FP per scan with a sensitivity of 95%.
1. Introduction
1.1.SignifcanceofStudy. In the current era, health care is an
important domain in which a lot of research work has been
carried out, various researchers working in the healthcare
domain to solve the problems of healthcare applications,
Sultan et al. 1] introduced a hybrid approach for Alzheimer
patients through video summarization. Another research
work in the health care domain is carried out by Bacanin
et al. 2]; the authors used wireless sensing network tech•
nology to monitor human health, pollution predictions, and
some other related factor that are useful for human health.
Artifcial Intelligence and machine learning techniques are
very commonly used in the health care sector and
researchers get very good results. An artifcial intelligence•
based technique by Chang et al. 3] was introduced; they
ofer a drug selection framework for the individualized
selection of NSCLC patients using an artifcial intelligence•
assisted medical system. Te method forecasts drug
efectiveness•cost under the concept of ensuring efcacy
while taking the economic cost of targeted drugs into ac•
count as an auxiliary decision•making element. Similarly
Ramzan et al. 4] introduce a protection system for medical
images; the author proposed a technique in which they
secure medical images. Another medical base Optimal
feature extraction and ulcer classifcation from WCE image
data using deep•learning technique in introduced by 5] and
another medical image•related work has been carried out by
Hindawi
