      "content": "<p>1) 2.5D methods actually use 2D convolution operations for feature extraction, but with different depths of volumes. 2D convolutions only move in two directions, so in theory, they cannot extract information about the Z direction. However, when you use a 2D convolution over a 3D volume (assuming you choose 20 slices in the middle of the CT scan), the 2D conv layer treats the 3D volume as a single photo with 20 channels and tries to extract information. These models can give good results if you determine how many and which slices you will use for input.</p>",
