Title
Deep learning for early diagnosis of lung cancer using low-dose CT scans
Summary
Objective of this project is to apply deep learning on low-dose CT scans to aid in the interpretation of the scans to reduce possible human errors.
Aims
-To create a deep learning model that can correctly diagnose lung cancer from reading of CT scans
-To evaluate the performance of deep learning model compared to Computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithms
