# Chest CT Scan Cancer Detection

This application uses a deep learning model to detect cancer in chest CT scan images. The model is based on a DenseNet121 architecture and trained on the Chest CT-Scan Images dataset from Kaggle.

## How to Use

1. Upload a chest CT scan image using the interface
2. Click "Analyze Image" to get results
3. View the prediction (Normal or Cancer) and visualization

## About the Model

- **Architecture**: Modified DenseNet121
- **Task**: Binary Classification (Normal vs. Cancer)
- **Input**: Chest CT scan images (resized to 256x256)
- **Performance**: ~90% accuracy on test set

## Limitations

- The model works best with chest CT scans similar to those in the training data
- This is a research tool and should not be used for clinical diagnosis without professional medical oversight
