MHSnet: Multi-head and Spatial Attention Network with False-Positive Reduction for Pulmonary Nodules Detection. (arXiv:2201.13392v3 [eess.IV] UPDATED)

The mortality of lung cancer has ranked high among cancers for many years.
Early detection of lung cancer is critical for disease prevention, cure, and
mortality rate reduction. However, existing detection methods on pulmonary
nodules introduce an excessive number of false positive proposals in order to
achieve high sensitivity, which is not practical in clinical situations. In
this paper, we propose the multi-head detection and spatial
squeeze-and-attention network, MHSnet, to detect pulmonary nodules, in order to
aid doctors in the …
