Detecting lung nodules through computed tomography (CT) scans plays an important role in early prevention, clinical diagnosis, and monitoring of lung cancer. However, the small, irregular shape and low resolution of lung nodules, together with multiscale challenges, often hinder accurate detection, especially for small nodules. To overcome these obstacles, we propose an improved detection algorithm, a real-time detection transformer (RT-DETR) nodule, specifically for lung nodules in CT images. The proposed RT-DETR framework includes several imp...
