From Slices to Volumes: Comparing 2D, 2.5D, and 3D Residual Networks for Pulmonary Nodule Malignancy-Risk Classification

The study compares 2D, 2.5D, and 3D residual networks for classifying pulmonary nodule malignancy risk using a retrospective LIDC‑IDRI cohort of 2,654 nodules. Models were trained with random initialization, momentum‑contrast pretraining, and mild data augmentation, and evaluated on patient‑disjoint splits. Augmented 2.5D models achieved the highest test Macro‑F1 (0.6537) and accuracy (0.6869), while 2D and 3D models performed lower, and pretraining generally reduced performance.

Foundation Models vs. Radiomics for Lung Computed Tomography: A Benchmark of Feature Extractors, Classification Heads, and Segmentation Choices

arXiv:2607. 01001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiomics is the established approach for CT-based lung cancer phenotyping, yet comparisons with foundation models rarely isolate contributions of feature extractor, classification head, and segmentation choice, or test cross-cohort robustness.
