Lung Nodule Detection via Optimized Convolutional Neural Network: Impact of Improved Moth Flame Algorithm.

Lung cancer is a high-risk disease that affects people all over the world, and lung nodules are the most common sign of early lung cancer. Since early identification of lung cancer can considerably improve a lung scanner patient's chances of survival, an accurate and efficient nodule detection system can be essential. Automatic lung nodule recognition decreases radiologists' effort, as well as the risk of misdiagnosis and missed diagnoses.
