Abstract—Cancer has become very common in this evolving world. 

Technology advancements, increased radiations have made cancer a common 

syndrome. Various types of cancers like Skin Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate 

Cancer, Blood Cancer, Colorectal cancer, Kidney Cancer and Lung Cancer exits. 

Among these various types of cancers, the mortality rate is high in lung cancer 

which is tough to diagnose and can be diagnosed only in advanced stages. Small 

cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer are the two types in which non-

small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type which makes up to 80 

to 85 percent of all cases [1]. Digital Image Processing and Artificial Intelligence 

advancements has helped a lot in medical image analysis and Computer Aided 

Diagnosis (CAD). Numerous research is carried out in this field to improve the 

detection and prediction of the cancerous tissues. In current methods, traditional 

image processing techniques is applied for image processing, noise removal and 

feature extraction. There are few good approaches that applies Artificial 

Intelligence and produce better results. However, no research has achieved 100% 

accuracy in nodule detection, early detection of cancerous nodules nor faster 

processing methods. Application of Artificial Intelligence techniques like 

Machine Learning, Deep Learning is very minimal and limited. In this paper 

[Figure 1], we have applied Artificial intelligence techniques to process CT 

(Computed Tomography) Scan image for data collection and data model training. 

The DICOM image data is saved as numpy file with all medical information 

extracted from the files for training. With the trained data we apply deep learning 

for noise removal and feature extraction. We can process huge volume of medical 

images for data collection, image processing, detection and prediction of nodules. 

The patient is made well aware of the disease and enabled with their health 

tracking using various mobile applications made available in the online stores for 

iOS and Android mobile devices. 

Keywords—Lung Cancer, CAD, Artificial intelligence, K-means, CNN and CT 

scan. 

1 Introduction 

Researchers have started implementing automatic systems for analysis when the 

situation raised where they can scan to get the medical image and load it into a computer

system for processing. Originally, analysis of medical image is done by low-level pixel 

processing by sequential application i.e. using line and edge detecting filters and using 

the concept of region growing and mathematical modeling i.e. fitting lines, circles & 

ellipses to construct compound rule-based systems that solve a particular task. Expert 

Systems has an analogy where multiple if-then-else statements is used which is famous 

in AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems. During the start of 2000s, techniques like 

supervised learning which involves data training is used to develop a system which is 

becoming increasing popular now in the field of medical image analysis. For example, 

in segmentation usage of active share models, methods like atlas where the atlases are 

made fit from the trained data. Also, the feature extraction concepts and use of statistical 

classifiers in CAD i.e. computer aided detection and diagnosis. In commercial medical 

image analysis, we still have pattern recognition and machine learning as famous and 

forms the very basis of all the available medical image diagnosis systems in the 

commercial markets. These changes have resulted in a big shift from manmade systems 

to systems designed by computer using the trained data from which the feature vectors 

are being extracted. In high-dimensional feature space, optimal decision is determined 

using computer algorithms in which the most crucial step is to extract the discriminant 

features from the images. However, handcrafted features are still done by human 

intervention for such systems [3]. 

Computers has developed the ability to learn from the features that are optimally 

represented by data for a give problem statement. This is achieved by the concepts of 

deep learning using various deep learning algorithms, data models which can be 

composed of many layers into a network with input data typically the image and the 

output data which is the result of computer aided diagnosis of a disease or symptom i.e. 

presence, absence or prediction of a disease and its symptoms. In the available deep 

learning algorithms, Convolution Neural Networks i.e. CNN is the most successful 

algorithm in data trainings and predictions of the results. CNN uses convolution filters 

to refine the data and to produce most accurate results. Various works on CNNs is 

carried out since the event of Fukushima and were highly applied to medical image 

analysis in 1995 by Lo et Al [16]. The first real-world successful application of CNN 

is applied to recognize hand-written digits. Apart from these first successes, CNN didn’t 

gain any space in its initial years until various other new techniques were developed to 

improve the algorithm results after which it took the momentum and advanced to the 

next level of core computing systems. Deep convolution networks have now become 

the popular choice in the field of computer vision. [3]. 

Various mobile applications available in the store for Android and iOS mobile 

devices which help patient’s communication, education, awareness, important medical 

terminologies, finding a nearby health centers etc. through mobile apps, doctors can 

also share CAD (Computer Aided Diagnosis) results and monitor patient improvements 

and health. There exist many popular free mobiles in the market like CaringBridge, 

Cancer.Net Mobile, My Cancer Circle, Find a Health Center for iOS and Android.

2 Related Work 

In Lung Cancer Detection using CT Scan Images [4] Median and Gaussian filters 

has been used instead of Gabor filter in the pre- processing stage of the images. 

Processed image is segmented using watershed segmentation. Data model is trained 

from the extracted features which is used as the training features to the model. The 

unknown cancer nodule is predicted and classification is done using the trained data 

sets. This model has higher accuracy of cancer nodule detection. The lung cancer that 

is detected is later classified as malignant or benign. Fake detection of the nodule is 

avoided by removing salt-pepper and speckle noises. In this research, the author has 

given scope to perform more research on classification of the cancerous tissues into 

various stages like stage I, stage II, stage III, stage IV in which the patient is affected 

with and treatment is required. In research work [5], experiment is done based on Keras. 

The network parameters used is, Batch size: 32, Epochs: 50 and has used dice 

coefficient index as a similarity metrics which calculates the similarity measurement 

with the formula: DSC = 2 ∗ ||𝑆𝑆∩𝑇𝑇|| ||𝑆𝑆⨁𝑇𝑇||. This approach can be applied to a 
wide area and to various kinds of medical image segmentation tasks exists.  Limitations: 

Objective in the next stage is to perform a lung nodule segmentation based on the results 

of this work. In A Comparative study of Lung Cancer detection using supervised neural 

network [6], the strength of a signal processing algorithm is determined using root mean 

square (RMS) and to find the relative noise. Random Forest classifier is used. It gives 

the result of 59.2% sensitivity, 66% efficiency, 52.8% specificity. It is observed that 

SVM classification gives the best approximation when compared to classification 

which give the result of 94.5% accuracy, 74.2% sensitivity and 77.6% specificity with 

66.3% recall.  The accuracy of the whole system is still low which needs to be 

improved. 

In K-means Cluster Algorithm Based on Color Image Enhancement for Cell 

Segmentation [7], the paper gives a detailed information on the usage of k-Means 

algorithm in clustering a sample X in the a given Ycbcr space. Segmentation and 

Morphological Processing of is used to test cell images in the study by applying Swiss 

dyeing. The erythrocytes and leukocytes are segmented. Segmentation has to improve 

to achieve more refined segmentation effect in cytoplasm and nucleus images 

Segmentation. In A Study on Lung Cancer Detection by Image Processing [8], attempts 

to identify lung cancer tissue in early stages. This this study, the suspicious lesions is 

identified from the given CT scan image. However, more research can be done to detect 

cancerous nodules in its early stages. Management of evaluation of the indeterminate 

nodules is a difficult challenge which has more space in this research work for future 

research works that help in early detection of the malignant nodules and reduces the 

mortality rates. 

In the research work to detect lung cancer with the help of DIP and AI [9], where 

back propagation method is used along with artificial neural networks and 70 images 

which contains 6 input neurons, 2 output neurons and 12 hidden layer neurons which is 

trained using back propagation network (BPN). In this research paper, they have used 

dataset from The Cancer Imaging Archive [13] [14] [15] a publicly available archive 

database. The result show whether the identified tumor is a benign or malignant. The

design gives 78% accuracy. Useful in detection of lung cancer using Computer Aided 

Detection (CADe) systems. However, 78% accuracy is still low and needs to be 

improved. In Lung tumor segmentation algorithm [10], which combines different image 

processing techniques to accomplish the goal to segment original image using threshold 

values. To remove the noise from the images, erosion method is applied along with 

median filter. The input DICOM image is converted into JPEG image format by 

removing information like saturation and tint. The image luminance is maintained. 

Median filter is used in this proposed system. It gives a higher accuracy of 97.14%. 

More research can be done to identify the cancer tissues at the earlier stages and 

prediction of cancer using AI techniques. 

3 Proposed Model 

 

Fig. 1. Proposed Model for CT scan image processing with application of deep learning in 

noise removal and feature extraction phase. 

In the proposed model, the input CT scan DICOM (Digital Image and 

Communication of Medical Information) 3D image is scanned i.e. loaded to extract the 

image information. The image is converted into Gray Scale 2D image for noise removal 

and enhancement, segmentation and finally feature extraction. The image is sliced at 

the voxels, the third dimension. Fortunately, DICOM image has pixel spacing 

information which can be used for image slicing. In this flow, we apply deep 

convolution neural network to train the CT scan image data loaded from numpy file for 

training data sets and noise removal, feature extraction. This model helps in quick and 

fast processing of large volume of CT Scan images and produce the output for CAD 

(Computer Aided Diagnosis) and treatments.

5 Pre-Processing 

In medical image diagnosis, pre-processing is the most vital part for accurate results 

with higher accuracy rate. Below is the noise mostly found in medical images. 

Gaussian Noise: It’s a statistical noise given by the formula:  

g = imnoise (I, ‘gaussain’, m, var) 

I is input image 

m is mean  

var is variance 

Salt Pepper Noise: The cause of this noise is mostly due to analog-to-digital 

converter errors, dead pixels, bit errors in transmission, etc. Salt Pepper noise can be 

removed using Median filter, DFS or morphological filter [11]. 

Speckle Noise: A granular noise that degrades the quality of the image [11] 

Poisson Noise: It’s an electronic noise occurs due to particles carrying energy like 

electrons in an electronic circuit or photons [11]. 

In our case, we are loading 130 CT Scan Digital Imaging and Communications in 

Medicine (DICOM) images from the dataset source mentioned in dataset section. 

6 Hounsfield Unit (HU) 

Hounsfield Unit is widely used by radiologist to interpret CT (Computer 

Tomography) images in the measures of radio density. These units are standard across 

all the Computed Topography images irrespective of it absolute numbers of photons 

the scanner detector has captured [12]. Below are the standard units used across the 

globe to identity the substances in a CT scan DICOM image.

Table 1.  Standard Hounsfield Units 

Substance Hounsfield Unit 

Water 0 

Blood +30 to +70 

Liver +40 to +60 

Muscle +10 to +40 

Bone +700 (cancellous bone) to +3000 (cortical bone) 

Air -1000 

Lung -500 

Fat -100 to -50 

 

HU plotting for the sample 130 images we have taken for processing looks like the 

below. 

 

Fig. 3. Histogram plotting of 130 sliced DICOM images 

The histogram in the above figure [Figure.3] give the following details about the 

DICOM image plotted: 

• The image has lot of air 

• Some lung portion exists in the image 

• Lot of soft tissues like muscle, liver, etc. do exist in the image being processed along 

with some fat substance.  

• The scan image has only little bit or no bones i.e. substance in the range between 

700-3000. 

• All the above observation shows that we need to do significant preprocessing to 

remove the unwanted substances from the sample image taken for study and isolate 

only the lung region for analysis and diagnosis

7 Image Slicing 

We slice our sample 130 DICOM images [Figure.4] at the voxels for better visibility 

and analysis. This usually means taking a plane out of a 3D volumetric image. For 

example, in a CT or MRI image, you can take a slice along the X, Y, or Z dimension, 

or even a plane at some arbitrary orientation. You get a 2D image of the pixel values 

that would lie on that plane. i.e. excluding the voxels, pixel in the 3rd dimension. 

 

Fig. 4. . Mat plotting of sliced image displaying slice at every 3rd position 

Slice Thickness: 3.000000 

Pixel Spacing (row, col): (0.976562, 0.976562) 

8 Noise Removal 

From the numpy file created, read all the CT scan images information of the DICOM 

images for processing. Precise threshold value is obtained by using k-Means centroid 

clusters with k=2. Compare soft tissue, bone Vs lung and air substances by applying 

this algorithm. Also, Erosion and Dilation has been used to denoise the image to remove 

tiny features. Each distinct region is identified as separate image labels by applying 

bounding boxes to each of the image label which helps to identify lung and all 

substances other than lung. Later we apply masking techniques to isolate lung region 

and extract the ROI (Region of Interest) for feature extraction for further study and 

analysis. We have applied below morphological operations in the converted 2D gray 

scale image for noise removal and they are;

• Thresholding: Threshold value is calculated dynamically by adjusting the overflow 

and underflow values of the pixel after identifying the mean and standard deviation 

on the image X, Y shapes. Mean and Standard Deviation functions from numpy 

module is used for calculating the values. 

 

Standard Deviation 

• k-Means Clustering: We have applied k value of 2 to cluster the pixel and center 

them to apply the threshold and exclude pixels not in interest for study and analysis. 

We can straight away use the Kmeans function from sklean module to cluster the 

image pixels calculate optimal threshold value for noise removal. 

• Morphological operations: Used to process images based on the shape of the 

image. Structuring element is applied to the given image i.e. the input and creates 

the output image of the same shape. The pixel value of the output and input image is 

based on the comparison between the pixel corresponding to the input image with its 

neighbors. In this paper we have used library from skikit-image org to perform 

morphological operations. 

• Dilation: Dilation is the reverse process with regions growing out from their 

boundaries. It increases the size of the objects and fills the holes and broken areas to 

connect the areas that are separated by space smaller than structuring element. It 

increases the brightness of the objects. Distributive, duality, translation and 

decomposition properties are followed. It is used prior in Closing operation and later 

in Opening operation. 

Dilation formula:  XOR of A and B. 

• Erosion: Erosion is a method in which the pixel is removed at the edges of the 

region. It reduces the size of the objects to remove the small anomalies and reduces 

the brightness of a bright object. It removes the objects smaller than the structuring 

element and follows the different properties like duality etc. It is dual of dilation used 

later in Closing operation and prior in Opening operation.

9 Tensor Flow and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) 

Convolution Neural Network is a well know machine learning algorithm used in 

machines to understand the features of the data, in this case images with a foresight and 

save the feature to predict the type of the image based on the trained model. CNN is a 

widely used image classification algorithm. Image classification using CNN algorithm 

accepts an image as input, does the processing and classifies the image into various 

categories i.e. for example, Dog, Cat, Tiger, Lion. An image is an array of pixels. The 

array size depends on the image resolution. Based on the image resolution, an image is 

represented as h x w x d (h = Height, w = Width, d = Dimension) and the deep learning 

CNN models to train and test the datasets, the input image array is passed through as a 

series of convolution layers to the filters (Kernals) which is pooled, fully connected 

layers (FC) and applies Softmax function which classifies the image object with 

probabilistic values between 0 and 1

10 Resampling 

Resampling means changing the pixel dimensions of an image. When you down 

sample, you're eliminating pixels and therefore deleting information and detail from 

your image.  When you up sample, you're adding pixels. In below method we use 

interpolation for resampling. Below we do up sample: 

Input image shape before resampling is (130, 512, 512) 

Input image shape after resampling (390, 500, 500) 

11 Image Meshing 

Image meshing is a process of creating computer models in 3D images of images 

likes MRI (Magnetic Image Resonance) and CT (Computed Tomography) for use in 

CFD i.e. computational fluid dynamics and FEA i.e. finite element. Apply image mask 

to the 390 slices made, we have plotted a 3D image of lung cavity. 

 

Fig. 9. Meshed Image of Lung cavity in 3D 

12 Image Masking for Feature Extraction 

In the denoised, thresholded and enhanced image slice, we apply image masking to 

remove the pixel of no interest. This give the ROI (Region of Interest) for medical 

attention for further diagnosis and confirmation of cancerous nodules for further 

analysis and treatment. This approach process larger data sets for processing, data 

extraction, training, noise removal and feature extraction and detection of nodules.

13 CT Scan Image Dataset Source 

LIDC-IDRI: The Lung Image Database Consortium image collection (LIDC-IDRI) 

is an open source image database which consists marked lesion of lung cancer thoracic 

CT scan images with marked-up annotated lesions.  

We have used images from this consortium for the research paper and study the CT 

scan images. The consortium consists images of around 1018 cases which has been 

used for our study. This consortium was created by the collaboration of 7 academic 

centers and 8 medical image companies. 

14 Conclusion 

In the proposed model, we applied advanced image processing techniques and AI 

concepts for image preprocessing, noise removal, enhancement, slicing and feature 

extraction. This model can handle huge volume of datasets for processing and can plot 

the slice and lung image in 2D and 3D form for CAB (Computer Aided Diagnosis) 

which help pathologist to study the results and act fast on cancer confirmation and 

treatment in early stages which help in reducing the mortality rates. In this approach the 

threshold value is calculated dynamically using k-Mean centroid cluster algorithm 

based on the image noise and mean values which process each slice uniquely. We can 

further research more on identifying the cancer stages and early prediction of lung 

nodules applying CNN with improved trained datasets. 

In addition to the above diagnosis improvements, more seamless mobile apps should 

also be developed for Android, iOS, Microsoft mobile devices for improved patient’s 

communications, education on the disease and creating awareness to improve patient’s 

mental health to overcome any hard times and the disease faster.
