Abstract

Lung Cancer Detection using improvised Grad-Cam++ with 3D CNN with class activation for classification of lung nodules and early detection of lung cancer. So, the question is how can deep learning methods we use to solve high-impact medical problems such as lung cancer detection. And more specifically how can we use 3D convolution neural networks in this specific application for detection of lung cancer. No matter how good your deep learning model is if it’s not interpretable to people in the domain it’s really hard for them to adopt. So, all models recently they’ve been known to have very good accuracies especially deep learning models specifically but if the domain expert can’t trust the model then it doesn’t mean. Gradient weighted class activation mapping or Grad Cam++ to visualize the models decision-making an increased radiologist trust and improve adoption in the field. We have achieved an overall accuracy of 94% on LUNA 16 dataset which was better compared with remaining architectures, as per the literature study we done.
