We have CT scans only for the first measurement and in my opinion one way to use CNN is as a part of autoencoders to extend tabular data. An in this case I would try both DenseNet and ResNet and choose the one with the best result in the particular data. If recourses are restricted I would choose top models with the high metric values in papers and with appropriate computational complexity (chances are, DenseNet is in the top) + some classic models (definitely ResNet).</p>",

Actually I have tried DenseNet to deal with image data but given the limited GPU, the batch_size is restricted to 32 and the image_size is no more than 100*100. It turns out that it is better than ResNet but worse than EfficientNet. So in my opinion, I am afraid the endeavour of using two models would be a little bit difficult with regards to limited GPU. As for your advice, could you please elaborate more on how to choose between DenseNet and ResNet models?</p>",
