Improving Accuracy of Lung Nodule Classification Using Deep Learning with Focal Loss

Early detection and classification of pulmonary nodules using computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems is useful in reducing mortality rates of lung cancer. In this paper, we propose a new deep learning method to improve classification accuracy of pulmonary nodules in computed tomography (CT) scans. O...
