Inspiration

Lung cancer is a widespread and deadly disease that often goes undetected until its advanced stages, when treatment options become limited. Early detection is a critical factor in improving patient outcomes and increasing survival rates. By developing an accurate and efficient lung cancer detection system, the project aims to save lives and improve the quality of life for those diagnosed with the disease.

What it does

our project has 2 models , first model diagnosis lung cancer in early stages and the second model classifies it further into subtypes of lung cancer namely, adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma by image processing(dataset used are CT scans ). The second model is also capable of distinguishing the CTscan of a normal person.

How we built it

We have built these models with the application of machine learning, deep learning (CNN-convolution neural networking) and image processing using tensorflow and keras

Challenges we ran into

Dataset for CT scans were limited , therefore it was a huge challenge to train a CNN model.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Despite of challenges , we have successfully trained both the models with astonishing accuracies of 98.4% and 99.6% respectively
