Automatic detect lung node with deep learning in segmentation and imbalance data labeling

Abstract In this study, a novel method with the U-Net-based network architecture, 2D U-Net, is employed to segment the position of lung nodules, which are an early symptom of lung cancer and have a high probability of becoming a carcinoma, especially when a lung nodule is bigger than 15  $$\mathrm{m...
