MAEMC-NET: a hybrid self-supervised learning method for predicting the malignancy of solitary pulmonary nodules from CT images by Tianhu Zhao, Tianhu Zhao, Yong Yue, Hang Sun, Jingxu Li, Yanhua Wen, Yudong Yao, Wei Qian, Yubao Guan, Shouliang Qi, Shouliang Qi

“…These results not only significantly surpass the joint diagnosis by two experienced chest radiologists (77.3% accuracy) but also outperform the current state-of-the-art methods. The model performs best on medical images with a 50% mask ratio, showing a 1.4% increase in accuracy compared to the optimal 75% mask ratio on natural images.DiscussionThe proposed MAEMC-NET effectively distinguishes between benign and malignant solitary pulmonary nodules and holds significant potential to assist radiologists in improving the diagnostic accuracy of PGN and SLA.…”
