This document proposes a methodology for detecting lung cancer using an SVM algorithm and optimization techniques. It involves taking medical images from CT scans, MRI scans, or sonography as input. The images will then undergo preprocessing including edge detection, denoising, and segmentation. Features will be extracted and lung cancer cells identified to diagnose if cancer is present. The goal is to help prevent lung cancer through early detection since smoking, genetics, chemicals and other factors can increase the risk of developing lung cancer.

AND OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQIES GUIDE BY : Dr.LEEBAN MOSSES BY : HARIRAM S GURURAJ R GOWTHAM G K PROBLEM STATEMENT :
LUNG CANCER IS FORMED IN TISSUES OF THE LUNGS ,USUALLY IN THE
CELLS THAT LINE THE AIR PASSAGES. IT IS DEVELOPED WHEN NORMAL LUNGS CELLS CHANGE , OR MUTATE IN A WAY THAT ALTERS THEIR NATURAL GROWTH AND DEATH CYCLE. CHEST PAIN, COUGH, TROUBLE BREATHING, BLOOD IN SPUTUM , FATIGUE ARE THE BASIC SYMPTOMS OF LUNG CANCER . THIS USUALLY OCCURS FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN ,ALSO IN DOGS AND CATS BUT IT IS VERY RARE. SMOKING, GENITICS, EXPOSURE TO HARMFUL CHEMICALS AND RADIATION ,HIV INFECTION AND AIR POLLUTION ARE THE FACTORS WHICH CAUSE LUNG CANCER. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY FOR PREVENTION: “STAY AWAY FROM TOBACCO” MEANING NOT TO SMOKE TOBACCO AS WELL AS BE DISTANT FROM SMOKERS. AVOIDING RADON EXPOSURE BY REGULAR TESTING AND TREATING OF OUR HOME. AVOIDING EXPOSURE TO KNOWN CANCER CAUSING AGENTS. WHEN PEOPLE WORK WHERE THESE EXPOSURES ARE COMMON , THEY SHOULD BE KEPT IN MINIMUM. “EAT A HEALTHY DIET”.DIET HIGH IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MAY HELP PEOPLE THOSE WHO SMOKE AND THOSE WHO DON’T AGAINST LUNG CANCER. ALTHOUGH WE KNOW HOW TO PREVENT LUNG CANCERS , NOT ALL CAN BE PREVENTED. THE SYSTEM FORMED ACCEPTS ANYONE OF MEDICAL IMAGE WITHIN THE THREE CHOICES CONSISTING OF, MRI , CT, SONOGRAPHY SCANS AS INPUT. AFTER PROCESSING OF IMAGE CANNY FILTER IS USED FOR EDGE DETECTION. SUPER PIXEL SEGMENTATION IS USED FOR MEDICAL IMAGE SEGMENTATION. GABOR FILTER IS USED FOR DE-NOISING THE MEDICAL IMAGES. SIMULATION ARE OBTAINED FOR THE CANCER DETETCTION SYSTEM USING MATLAB . COMPARISON IS DONE BETWEEN THE THREE MEDICAL IMAGE.
