The integration of deep neural networks and cloud computing has become increasingly prevalent within the domain of medical image processing, facilitated by the recent strides in neural network theory and the advent of the internet of things (IoTs). This juncture has led to the emergence of numerous image segmentation networks and innovative solutions that facilitate medical practitioners in diagnosing lung cancer. Within the contours of this study, we present an end-to-end neural network model, christened as the “semi-residual Multi-resolution Convolutional Neural Network” (semi-residual MCNN), devised to engender precise lung nodule segmentation maps within the milieu of cloud computing. Central to the architecture are three pivotal features, each coalescing to effectuate a notable enhancement in predictive accuracy: the incorporation of semi-residual building blocks, the deployment of group normalization techniques, and the orchestration of multi-resolution output heads. This innovative model is systematically subjected to rigorous training and testing regimes, using the LIDC-IDRI dataset – a widely embraced and accessible repository – comprising a diverse ensemble of 1,018 distinct lung CT images tailored to the realm of lung nodule segmentation. |
