Focused on the issue that U-Net has a poor segmentation effect for small-volume pulmonary nodules, a segmentation method based on deep transfer learning was proposed, and Block Superimposed Fine-Tuning (BSFT) strategy was used to assist the segmentation of pulmonary nodules. Firstly, convolutional neural network was used to learn the feature information of large natural image datasets. Then, the learned features were transferred to the network for the segmentation of small pulmonary nodule image datasets. From the last sampling layer of the network, the network was released block by block and fine-tuned until the network completed the superimposition of the last layer. Finally, the similarity coefficient of Dice was quantitatively analyzed to determine the optimal segmentation network. The experimental results show that the Dice value of BSFT on LUNA16 pulmonary nodule open dataset reaches 0.917 9, which is obviously better than that of the mainstream pulmonary nodule segmentation algorithms.
