Project Background:
Lung Disease Prediction and Detection using Deep Learning Models centers around leveraging advanced computational techniques to improve early diagnosis and prognosis of various pulmonary conditions. Lung diseases range from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to lung cancer, which presents significant challenges in terms of timely detection and effective management. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on manual interpretation of medical imaging scans, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error. These deep-learning models are trained on large datasets containing labeled images, allowing them to learn intricate patterns indicative of different lung diseases.
Problem Statement
- In this given work, the current diagnostic process for lung diseases heavily relies on the manual interpretation of medical imaging scans, which is time-consuming and prone to human error.
- Access to experienced radiologists or pulmonologists for accurate interpretation of medical images may be limited, especially in remote or underserved areas.
- Delayed diagnosis of lung diseases can lead to progression of the condition and poorer patient outcomes. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and management.
- Identifying subtle abnormalities or patterns indicative of lung diseases in medical images such as X-rays and CT scans requires specialized expertise and can be challenging even for experienced clinicians.
- There is a growing need for automated systems that can assist healthcare professionals in accurately and efficiently analyzing medical images to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of lung diseases.
- Developing robust deep-learning models that can reliably identify various lung diseases across diverse patient populations and imaging modalities is essential for widespread clinical adoption.
Aim and Objectives
- Develop and deploy deep learning models for accurate prediction and detection of lung diseases using medical imaging data.
- Train deep learning models on large datasets of annotated medical images to recognize patterns indicative of lung diseases.
- Evaluate the performance of the developed models in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for various lung conditions.
- Enhance the interpretability of the models to provide insights into features driving the predictions.
-
Integrate the developed models into clinical workflows to assist healthcare professionals in early diagnosis and prognosis of lung diseases.
- Validate the effectiveness of the deep learning-based approach through real-world clinical trials and assessments.
