Unified deep learning models for enhanced lung cancer prediction with ResNet-50-101 and EfficientNet-B3 using DICOM images.

Significant advancements in machine learning algorithms have the potential to aid in the early detection and prevention of cancer, a devastating disease. However, traditional research methods face obstacles, and the amount of cancer-related information is rapidly expanding. The authors have developed a helpful support system using three distinct deep-learning models, ResNet-50, EfficientNet-B3, and ResNet-101, along with transfer learning, to predict lung cancer, thereby contributing to health and reducing the mortality rate associated with this condition. This offer aims to address the issue effectively. Using a dataset of 1,000 DICOM lung cancer images from the LIDC-IDRI repository, each image is classified into four different categories. Although deep learning is still making progress in its ability to analyze and understand cancer data, this research marks a significant step forward in the fight against cancer, promoting better health outcomes and potentially lowering the mortality rate. The Fusion Model, like all other models, achieved 100% precision in classifying Squamous Cells. The Fusion Model and ResNet-50 achieved a precision of 90%, closely followed by EfficientNet-B3 and ResNet-101 with slightly lower precision. To prevent overfitting and improve data collection and planning, the authors implemented a data extension strategy. The relationship between acquiring knowledge and reaching specific scores was also connected to advancing and addressing the issue of imprecise accuracy, ultimately contributing to advancements in health and a reduction in the mortality rate associated with lung cancer.
