      MethodMain ideaAdvantageDisadvantage
      Single CNNExtract image features and minimize loss valuesLow complexity,short computation time,and relatively easy to improveIncomplete feature extraction,limited recognition ability
      Multiple CNNIntegrate multiple CNN models and leverage multiple underlying network architecturesCapture global and local feature information of nodules,with stronger feature expression ability and higher classification accuracyMultiple parameters,difficult training,and long calculation time
      TransformerSerializing images and utilizing self attention mechanism to capture global dependencies of imagesCapture global dependencies,parallel computing,long-distance dependency modeling,and strong interpretabilityHigh computational resource requirements,loss of image structure information,and more complex feature processing
      DNNUsing deep neural networks for feature transformation and complex function fittingEnhance diagnostic homogeneity,quantitatively extract image features,and output conclusions through standardized processing methodsDifficulty in training and low model specificity
      GANContinuously adversarial image generation through generators and discriminatorsEnhance training stability,solve the problem of low manually labeled data volume,and increase the number and diversity of training samplesDifficulty in model training,problem of pattern collapse
      Transfer learningMigrating annotation data from related auxiliary fieldsEnhance generalization ability and alleviate training difficulties caused by the lack of medical images in the modelThe migration layer and migration volume need to be verified,have negative migration issues
      Ensemble learningUse ensemble learning to combine decisions from multiple CNNHigher classification accuracy and enhanced prediction stabilityComplex network,difficult training,and long training time
