| description | <p><br></p><h3>Background</h3><p dir="ltr">Vision transformer-based methods are advancing the field of medical artificial intelligence and cancer imaging, including lung cancer applications. Recently, many researchers have developed vision transformer-based AI methods for lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis.</p><h3>Objective</h3><p dir="ltr">This scoping review aims to identify the recent developments on vision transformer-based AI methods for lung cancer imaging applications. It provides key insights into how vision transformers complemented the performance of AI and deep learning methods for lung cancer. Furthermore, the review also identifies the datasets that contributed to advancing the field.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">In this review, we searched Pubmed, Scopus, IEEEXplore, and Google Scholar online databases. The search terms included intervention terms (vision transformers) and the task (i.e., lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, etc.). Two reviewers independently screened the title and abstract to select relevant studies and performed the data extraction. A third reviewer was consulted to validate the inclusion and exclusion. Finally, the narrative approach was used to synthesize the data.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">Of the 314 retrieved studies, this review included 34 studies published from 2020 to 2022. The most commonly addressed task in these studies was the classification of lung cancer types, such as lung squamous cell carcinoma versus lung adenocarcinoma, and identifying benign versus malignant pulmonary nodules. Other applications included survival prediction of lung cancer patients and segmentation of lungs. The studies lacked clear strategies for clinical transformation. SWIN transformer was a popular choice of the researchers; however, many other architectures were also reported where vision transformer was combined with convolutional neural networks or UNet model. Researchers have used the publicly available lung cancer datasets of the lung imaging database consortium and the cancer genome atlas. One study used a cluster of 48 GPUs, while other studies used one, two, or four GPUs.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">It can be concluded that vision transformer-based models are increasingly in popularity for developing AI methods for lung cancer applications. However, their computational complexity and clinical relevance are important factors to be considered for future research work. This review provides valuable insights for researchers in the field of AI and healthcare to advance the state-of-the-art in lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: BMC Medical Imaging<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12880-023-01098-z" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12880-023-01098-z</a></p> |
