    Abstract:
    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common lung disease that can lead to restricted airflow and respiratory problems, causing a significant health, economic, and social burden. Detecting the COPD stage can provide a timely warning for prompt intervention in COPD patients. However, existing methods based on inspiratory (IN) and expiratory (EX) chest CT images are not sufficiently accurate and efficient in COPD stage detection. The lung region images are autonomously segmented from IN and EX chest CT images to extract the 1 , 781 × 2 lung radiomics and 13 , 824 × 2 3D CNN features. Furthermore, a strategy for concatenating and selecting features was employed in COPD stage detection based on radiomics and 3D CNN features. Finally, we combine all the radiomics, 3D CNN features, and factor risks (age, gender, and smoking history) to detect the COPD stage based on the Auto-Metric Graph Neural Network (AMGNN). The AMGNN with radiomics and 3D CNN features achieves the best performance at 89.7 % of accuracy, 90.9 % of precision, 89.5 % of F1-score, and 95.8 % of AUC compared to six classic machine learning (ML) classifiers. Our proposed approach demonstrates high accuracy in detecting the stage of COPD using both IN and EX chest CT images. This method can potentially establish an efficient diagnostic tool for patients with COPD. Additionally, we have identified radiomics and 3D CNN as more appropriate biomarkers than Parametric Response Mapping (PRM). Moreover, our findings indicate that expiration yields better results than inspiration in detecting the stage of COPD.
