ATTENTION-GUIDED FEATURE EXTRACTION AND MULTISCALE FEATURE FUSION 3D RESNET FOR AUTOMATED PULMONARY NODULE DETECTION

Attention-Guided Feature Extraction and Multiscale Feature Fusion 3D ResNet for Automated Pulmonary Nodule Detection

Automatic detection of pulmonary nodules is critical for the early diagnosis and prevention of lung cancer.Computed tomography (CT) is an effective and economical lung cancer detection method.In CT images, the size and shape of pulmonary nodules appear different, and some nodules appear similar to the surrounding tissues.Therefore, the automatic lo
