摘要
En 中文
Lung screening is really crucial in the early detection and management of masses, with particular regard to cancer. Studies have shown that lung cancer screening, can reduce lung cancer mortality by 20-30% in high-risk populations. In recent times, the advent of deep learning, with particular regard to computer vision, demonstrated the ability to effectively detect and locate objects from video streams and also (medical) images. Considering these aspects, in this paper, we propose a method aimed to perform instance segmentation, i.e., by providing a mask for each lung mass instance detected, allowing for the identification of individual masses even if they overlap or are close to each other by classifying the detected masses into (generic) nodules, cancer or adenocarcinoma. In this paper, we considered the you-only-look-once model for lung nodule segmentation. An experimental analysis, performed on a set of real-world lung computed tomography images, demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method not only in the detection of lung masses but also in lung mass segmentation, thus providing a helpful way not only for radiologist to conduct automatic lung screening but also for discovering very small masses not easily recognizable to the naked eye and that may deserve attention. As a matter of fact, in the evaluation of a dataset composed of 3654 lung scans, the proposed method obtains an average precision of 0.757 and an average recall of 0.738 in the classification task. Additionally, it reaches an average mask precision of 0.75 and an average mask recall of 0.733. These results indicate that the proposed method is capable of not only classifying masses as nodules, cancer, and adenocarcinoma, but also effectively segmenting the areas, thereby performing instance segmentation.
