Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Using AI and Mobile Applications

Abstract

Cancer has become very common in this evolving world. Technology advancements, increased radiations have made cancer a common syndrome. Various types of cancers like Skin Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Blood Cancer, Colorectal cancer, Kidney Cancer and Lung Cancer exits. Among these various types of cancers, the mortality rate is high in lung cancer which is tough to diagnose and can be diagnosed only in advanced stages. Small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer are the two types in which non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type which makes up to 80 to 85 percent of all cases [1]. Digital Image Processing and Artificial Intelligence advancements has helped a lot in medical image analysis and Computer Aided Diagnosis(CAD). Numerous research is carried out in this field to improve the detection and prediction of the cancerous tissues. In current methods, traditional image processing techniques is applied for image processing, noise removal and feature extraction. There are few good approaches that applies Artificial Intelligence and produce better results. However, no research has achieved 100% accuracy in nodule detection, early detection of cancerous nodules nor faster processing methods. Application of Artificial Intelligence techniques like Machine Learning, Deep Learning is very minimal and limited. In this paper [Figure 1], we have applied Artificial intelligence techniques to process CT (Computed Tomography) Scan image for data collection and data model training. The DICOM image data is saved as numpy file with all medical information extracted from the files for training. With the trained data we apply deep learning for noise removal and feature extraction. We can process huge volume of medical images for data collection, image processing, detection and prediction of nodules. The patient is made well aware of the disease and enabled with their health tracking using various mobile applications made available in the online stores for iOS and Android mobile devices.

Advancing Non-Cuff Hypertension Detection: Leveraging 1D Convolutional Neural Network and Time Domain Physiological Signals

“…CNN effectively utilizes the spatial hierarchies of input data by gradually condensing information through convolutional layers, pooling, and fully connected layers. This process preserves the spatial relationships and identifies complex patterns [33].…”

PalAST: A Cross-Platform Mobile Application for Automated Disk Diffusion Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

“…These technologies have been shown to improve diagnostic accuracy and speed and reduce healthcare costs. Recently, many mobile applications have used AI and image processing techniques to support a variety of medical tests, such as the detection of Covid-19 symptoms [15,23,24], the detection of dermatological diseases [12,14,19] and cancer [1,7,18]. However, some works have been proposed to aid in antibiotic resistance and AST.…”

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Diagnosis of Neoplastic Diseases: A Systematic and Bibliometric Review

“…Cancer is becoming more prevalent due to technological advances and increased exposure to radiation. Among various types of cancer, lung cancer has a high mortality rate and is difficult to diagnose [102]. In the medical field, AI has attracted considerable attention because of its ability to quickly analyze data, make informed decisions, and process large volumes of information that would be unmanageable for humans.…”
