Title
Investigation of images
Summary
Classification of nodule images at multiple levels and features and correlation with database.

Recent advance in the machine learning and specifically deep learning has been remarkably successful in various image classification problems. We propose to investigate the effectiveness of the deep learning technology for nodule detection. Specifically, deep learning network will be designed and trained using the data and will be used to compare with existing data for its effectiveness. It is further proposed to quantify the effectiveness of various nodule characteristics. Correlation with database will be investigated.
Aims

To achieve certain level of classification and lower level feature extraction that may highlight the relation with its growth
