Merged summary

TL;DR - GRIPNet is a real-time CT detector that incorporates the Gaussian-like radial intensity profile of pulmonary nodules into its architecture. It substantially improves small-nodule detection and localization across three public benchmarks, potentially strengthening early lung-cancer screening.

  • Analysis of 18,218 annotated lesions found that nodule intensity typically peaks centrally and decays radially, with mean R² above 0.86 across datasets and size groups.
  • Pinwheel convolutions model radial gradients, while a dual-frequency module separates boundary details from broader structural context.
  • Dilated masked attention captures the spatial extent of intensity decay, and an adaptive loss emphasizes samples based on conspicuity.
  • GRIPNet achieved mAP@0.5 of 95.3% on KanserSet, 91.6% on LUNA16, and 97.9% on Lung-PET-CT-Dx, with improved high-IoU localization at real-time speed.
