DA OMS-CNN: Dual-Attention OMS-CNN with 3D Swin Transformer for Early-Stage Lung Cancer Detection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and deadly forms of cancer, accounting for a significant portion of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It typically originates in the lung tissues, particularly in the cells lining the airways, and early detection is crucial for improving patient survival rates. Computed tomography (CT) imaging has become a standard tool for lung cancer screening, providing detailed insights into lung structures and facilitating the early identification of cancerous nodules. In this study, an improved Faster R-CNN model is employed to detect early-stage lung cancer. To enhance the performance of Faster R-CNN, a novel dual-attention optimized multi-scale CNN (DA OMS-CNN) architecture is used to extract representative features of nodules at different sizes. Additionally, dual-attention RoIPooling (DA-RoIpooling) is applied in the classification stage to increase the model’s sensitivity. In the false-positive reduction stage, a combination of multiple 3D shift window transformers (3D SwinT) is designed to reduce false-positive nodules. The proposed model was evaluated on the LUNA16 and PN9 datasets. The results demonstrate that integrating DA OMS-CNN, DA-RoIPooling, and 3D SwinT into the improved Faster R-CNN framework achieves a sensitivity of 96.93% and a CPM score of 0.911. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach not only increases the sensitivity of lung cancer detection but also significantly reduces the number of false-positive nodules. Therefore, the proposed method can serve as a valuable reference for clinical applications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
