Detecting pulmonary cancers at early stages is difficult but crucial for patient survival. Therefore, it is essential to develop an intelligent, autonomous, and accurate lung cancer detection system that shows great reliability compared to previous systems and research. In this study, we have developed an innovative lung cancer detection system known as the Hybrid Lung Cancer Stage Classifier and Diagnosis Model (Hybrid-LCSCDM). This system simplifies the complex task of diagnosing lung cancer by categorizing patients into three classes: normal, benign, and malignant, by analyzing computed tomography (CT) scans using a two-part approach: First, feature extraction is conducted using a pre-trained model called VGG-16 for detecting key features in lung CT scans indicative of cancer. Second, these features are then classified using a machine learning technique called XGBoost, which sorts the scans into three categories. A dataset, IQ-OTH/NCCD - Lung Cancer, is used to train and evaluate the proposed model to show its effectiveness. The dataset consists of the three aforementioned classes containing 1190 images. Our suggested strategy achieved an overall accuracy of 98.54%, while the classification precision among the three classes was 98.63%. Considering the accuracy, recall, and precision as well as the F1-score evaluation metrics, the results indicated that when using solely computed tomography scans, the proposed (Hybrid-LCSCDM) model outperforms all previously published models.
COVID-19 is an infectious viral disease that mostly affects the lungs. That quickly spreads across the world. Early detection of the virus boosts the chances of patients recovering quickly worldwide. Many radiographic techniques are used to diagnose an infected person such as X-rays, deep learning technology based on a large amount of chest x-ray images is used to diagnose COVID-19 disease. Because of the scarcity of available COVID-19 X-rays image, the limited COVID-19 Datasets are insufficient for efficient deep learning detection models. Another problem with a limited dataset is that training models suffer from over-fitting, and the predictions are not generalizable to address these problems. In this paper, we developed Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (CGAN) to produce synthetic images close to real images for the COVID-19 case and traditional augmentation that was used to expand the limited dataset then used to train by Customized deep detection model. The Customized Deep learning model was able to obtain excellent detection accuracy of 97% accurate with only ten epochs. The proposed augmentation outperforms other augmentation techniques. The augmented dataset includes 6988 high-quality and resolution COVID-19 X-rays images. At the same time, the original COVID-19 X-rays images are only 587.
