  ABSTRACT: Computerized tomography (CT) scan is the only screening test recommended by doctors to look for lung cancer. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently proven their ability to successfully classify medical images. Due to its strong compactness property, the Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) has been commonly used in image feature extraction applications. This paper presents a novel technique for the classification of Lung cancer in Computerized Tomography (CT) scans using Wavelets to find discriminative features in the CT images and CNN to classify the extracted features. Experimental results prove that the proposed approach outperforms other commonly used methods and gives an overall accuracy of 99.5%.
