Lung Cancer Detection Using CT Scan with Artificial Neural Netwok

Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the most common disease in India. Reason behind this disease is unawareness among people and symptoms of disease are only recognized in their posterior stages. In this study, a lung cancer detection technique using Artificial Neural Networks has been investigated. Followed by image enhancement techniques, ANN has been used for classification of lung cancer stages. Lung cancer CT images have been taken from a private hospital. Accuracy of 93.3% has been achieved which is efficient enough as compared to existing systems. In Future, Ant colony optimization can be used with ANN for better results.
