摘要
肺癌是当今世界各国常见的恶性肿瘤,已成为大多数国家癌症死亡的主要原因。在我国,肺癌的发病率已由原来的第六位升至第一位,病死率在城市人口恶性肿瘤中居首位。在农村,升幅明显大于城市,尤以农村女性的增长趋势较为突出。由于肺癌早期无症状或症状轻微或与其它疾病症状类似,不易发现,待到发现时已有转移。所以,早期诊断具有重要的价值,对治疗计划有很重要的影响。因此,提高早期肺癌的检出率是提高患者生存率和降低死亡率的必要手段。
     本文回顾了肺癌诊断的历史现状,在此基础上,介绍并讨论了人工神经网络和模糊理论的结合——模糊神经网络。由于人工神经网络是基于人脑的计算机模型,具有良好的自适应性、自组织和很强的自学习能力,是数据分类和模式识别的有力工具。而模糊理论能更直接更自然地表达人类习惯用的逻辑含义,适用于直接的或高层的知识表达。将二者结合用于早期肺癌诊断,为肺癌诊断开辟一条新途径。本课题以从胸部CT片中提取的21项放射学特征和5个临床参数为基础,旨在提高早期肺癌的检出率,使诊断结果更加准确。
     方法:选用隶属度函数为高斯型的模糊神经网络用于肺癌诊断,将26个特征参数中的13个非二值变量进行模糊化处理,每个参数分为3个模糊子空间,用大(L)、中(M)、小(S)3个语言变量表示,每一个输入变量就有3个模糊化神经元与其在3个子空间对应的隶属度函数对应,然后和其它13个二值参数一起作为BP神经网络的输入。将所获得的117例病例样本随机分为训练集和测试集,训练模糊神经网络,选择合适的隐节点数。用测试集测试该网络区分肺癌和非肺癌的能力,并将结果与三角形隶属度函数模糊神经网络的测试结果进行比较。
     结果:对于早期肺癌的预测,高斯型隶属度函数模糊神经网络的虚警和漏检率较低,比作为对照的三角形隶属度函数模糊神经网络诊断正确率有所提高。高斯型隶属度函数模糊神经网络4例错误(良性5、6例,肺癌36、38例),而三角形隶属度函数模糊神经网络有5例错误,除上述4例外,肺癌中又增加第28例。高斯型隶属度函数模糊神经网络的总诊断正确率为91%,比三角形隶属度函数模糊神经网络高出3个百分点,而且对病例样本分组变化不敏感。因此,高斯型隶属度函数模糊神经网络更适用于肺癌诊断。
Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor in the world today, which has become the main reason of cancer patients' death. In China, the incidence of lung cancer has risen from the sixth to the first, and the mortality is in the top of urban population malignant tumor. In rural areas, the increase is significantly larger than that in urban, especially the trend of the rural women's mortality rise is more prominent. Because there are no or few specific symptoms in the early period of lung cancer, it is difficult to be detected. It has usually metastasized when it is detected. Early diagnosis has an important prognostic value and has a huge impact on treatment planning. So the early diagnosis and treatment is a necessary method to improve the survival rate and reduce the mortality of the patients with lung cancer.
     The recent progress of lung cancer diagnosis was reviewed in the paper. Fuzzy neural network was introduced and discussed. Fuzzy neural network was the combination of artificial neural network and fuzzy theory. Artificial neural network is a computational model based on the brain; it is a powerful tool for data classification and pattern identification because it has good adaptability, self-organization and self-learning ability. The prominent feature of fuzzy logic is to describe logical meaning to more naturally and directly that human are accustomed, which is suitable to express direct or high level of knowledge. And fuzzy neural network was used to diagnose lung cancer, developing a new approach for lung cancer diagnosis. The network is based on 21 features extracted from chest CT and 5 clinical parameters. The aim of the study was to improve the lung cancer diagnosis accuracy.
     Methods:The usefulness of a fuzzy neural network with Gaussian membership function for distinguishing between lung cancer and benign cases was studied to improve lung cancer diagnosis.13 non-binary parameters of 26 characteristic parameters were fuzzed with Gaussian membership function. Every input variable was divided into 3 fuzzy subspaces, using large(L), medium(M) and small(S) 3 linguistic variables to express. Each input variable had 3 fuzzy neurons, corresponding to subject function values in 3 fuzzy subspaces. Output after fuzziness was 39 elements. Then, the fuzzed outputs added with the other 13 binary parameters were used as inputs of the BP neural network.117 cases, including lung cancer and benign cases, were divided into training set and test set randomly. And these cases were used to train fuzzy neural network and select appropriate hidden nodes. The test set was also used to test the performance of the trained fuzzy neural network in differentiation of benign from malignant pulmonary nodules. The performances of Gaussian membership function fuzzy neural network were compared with that of fuzzy neural network with triangle membership function.
     Conclusions:The performance of the fuzzy neural network with Gaussian membership function was better than that of the fuzzy neural network with triangle membership function in prediction of probability of malignancy in pulmonary nodules. There were 2 false-positive and 2 false-negative in Gaussian membership function fuzzy neural network. But in triangle membership function fuzzy neural network, there was 1 false-negative more than that of in GMF FNN. The diagnostic accuracy rate of fuzzy neural network with Gaussian membership function was 91%, which was 3 percentage points higher than that of fuzzy neural network with triangular membership function. And the sensitivity of Gaussian membership function fuzzy neural network was better than that of triangle membership function fuzzy neural network. So, the fuzzy neural network with Gaussian membership function has the potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy of distinction between the benign and malignant cases.
