Efficient Lung Cancer Image Classification and Segmentation Algorithm Based on Improved Swin Transformer

With the development of computer technology, various models have emerged in artificial intelligence. The transformer model has been applied to the field of computer vision (CV) after its success in natural language processing (NLP). Radiologists continue to face multiple challenges in today's rapidly evolving medical field, such as increased workload and increased diagnostic demands. Although there are some conventional methods for lung cancer detection before, their accuracy still needs to be improved, especially in realistic diagnostic scenarios. This paper creatively proposes a segmentation method based on efficient transformer and applies it to medical image analysis. The algorithm completes the task of lung cancer classification and segmentation by analyzing lung cancer data, and aims to provide efficient technical support for medical staff. In addition, we evaluated and compared the results in various aspects. For the classification mission, the max accuracy of Swin-T by regular training and Swin-B in two resolutions by pre-training can be up to 82.3%. For the segmentation mission, we use pre-training to help the model improve the accuracy of our experiments. The accuracy of the three models reaches over 95%. The experiments demonstrate that the algorithm can be well applied to lung cancer classification and segmentation missions.
