In recent years, with the development of Deep Learning (DL) technology and the continuous improvement of algorithms, DL-assisted diagnosis systems based on medical images have rapidly developed. Compared with traditional image processing methods, DL trains models by combining a large amount of relevant data (e.g. clinical data, imaging data, etc.) and then uses the models to predict disease-related information. Compared with traditional medical image processing algorithms, DL has better performance in recognition, segmentation and classification of medical images. In this paper, an AI-aided diagnosis algorithm is developed for lung cancer, a malignant tumour disease, based on clinical chest CT data and imaging data. The algorithm uses chest CT images as the object of study, and classifies and evaluates patients based on various factors such as their age, gender, tumour volume and location, as well as their knowledge of the disease. A pre-trained model was first used to establish an algorithm for lung cancer tumour segmentation and recognition. Convolutional NNs are then applied to learn solutions to the feature extraction and classification problems. Finally, the results obtained are used as model output and the system performance is evaluated to complete the diagnostic process for lung cancer as a class of malignant tumour disease.
