• Abstract: The accurate and consistent border segmentation plays an important role in the tumor volume estimation and its treatment in the field of Medical Image Segmentation. Globally, Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death and the early detection of lung nodules is essential for the early cancer diagnosis and survival rate of patients. The goal of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of Deephealth toolkit including PyECVL and PyEDDL libraries to precisely segment lung nodules. Experiments for lung nodules segmentation has been carried out on UniToChest using PyECVL and PyEDDL, for data pre-processing as well as neural network training. The results depict accurate segmentation of lung nodules across a wide diameter range and better accuracy over a traditional detection approach. The datasets and the code used in this paper are publicly available as a baseline reference.

  Lung cancer ranks as one of the leading causes of cancer diagnosis and is the foremost cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The segmentation of lung nodules plays a critical role in aiding physicians in distinguishing between malignant and benign lesions. We introduce a novel model for segmenting lung nodules in computed tomography (CT) images, leveraging a deep learning framework that integrates segmentation and classification processes.

  We propose an efficient end-to-end framework, the multi-encoder-based self-adaptive hard attention network (MESAHA-Net) for precise lung nodule segmentation in CT scans. MESAHA-Net iteratively performs slice-by-slice 2D segmentation of lung nodules, focusing on the nodule region in each slice to generate 3D segmentation of lung nodules. The proposed framework has been evaluated on the LIDC-IDRI dataset, the largest publicly available dataset for lung nodule segmentation.
