Effectiveness of the Detection of Pulmonary Emphysema using VGGNet with Low-dose Chest Computed Tomography Images = 저선량 흉부 CT를 이용한 VGGNet 폐기종 검출 유용성 평가

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to learn and evaluate the effectiveness of VGGNet in the detection of pulmonary emphysema using low-dose chest computed tomography images. In total, 8000 images with normal findings and 3189 images showing pulmonary emphysema were used. Furthermore, 60%, 24%, and 16% of the normal and emphysema data were randomly assigned to training, validation, and test datasets, respectively, in model learning. VGG16 and VGG19 were used for learning, and the accuracy, loss, confusion matrix, precision, recall, specificity, and F1-score were evaluated. The accuracy and loss for pulmonary emphysema detection of the low-dose chest CT test dataset were 92.35% and 0.21% for VGG16 and 95.88% and 0.09% for VGG19, respectively. The precision, recall, and specificity were 91.60%, 98.36%, and 77.08% for VGG16 and 96.55%, 97.39%, and 92.72% for VGG19, respectively. The F1-scores were 94.86% and 96.97% for VGG16 and VGG19, respectively. Through the above evaluation index, VGG19 is judged to be more useful in detecting pulmonary emphysema. The findings of this study would be useful as basic data for the research on pulmonary emphysema detection models using VGGNet and artificial neural networks.
