Optimizing Lung Cancer Detection in CT Imaging: A Wavelet Multi-Layer Perceptron (WMLP) Approach Enhanced by Dragonfly Algorithm (DA)
This work addresses lung cancer diagnosis, a critical global health issue, but appears incremental as it combines existing methods like wavelet transformations and optimization algorithms.
The study tackled lung cancer detection from CT scans by developing a deep learning framework that achieved 99.82% training and testing accuracy.
Lung cancer stands as the preeminent cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Prompt and precise diagnosis, coupled with effective treatment, is imperative to reduce the fatality rates associated with this formidable disease. This study introduces a cutting-edge deep learning framework for the classification of lung cancer from CT scan imagery. The research encompasses a suite of image pre-processing strategies, notably Canny edge detection, and wavelet transformations, which precede the extraction of salient features and subsequent classification via a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). The optimization process is further refined using the Dragonfly Algorithm (DA). The methodology put forth has attained an impressive training and testing accuracy of 99.82\%, underscoring its efficacy and reliability in the accurate diagnosis of lung cancer.
