Abstract
- Abstract Lung diseases globally impose a significant pathological burden and mortality rate, particularly the differential diagnosis between adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and small cell lung carcinoma, which is paramount in determining optimal treatment strategies and improving clinical prognoses. Faced with the challenge of improving diagnostic precision and stability, this study has developed an innovative deep learning-based model. This model employs a Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) modules combined with a Residual Network (ResNet18), to enhance the processing capabilities for complex images and conduct multi-scale analysis of each channel's importance in classifying lung cancer. Moreover, the performance of the model is further enhanced by employing knowledge distillation from larger teacher models to more compact student models. Subjected to rigorous five-fold cross-validation, our model outperforms existing models on all performance metrics, exhibiting exceptional diagnostic accuracy. Ablation studies on various model components have verified that each addition effectively improves model performance, achieving an average accuracy of 98.84% and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 98.83%. Collectively, the results indicate that our model significantly improves the accuracy of disease diagnosis, providing physicians with more precise clinical decision-making support.
