Automated Lung Nodule Detection at Low-Dose CT: Preliminary Experience
OBJECTIVE To determine the usefulness of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for the automated detection of lung nodules at low-dose CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS A CAD system developed for detecting lung nodules was used to process the data provided by 50 consecutive low-dose CT scans. The results of an initial report, a second look review by two chest radiologists, and those obtained by the...
متن کاملLung Nodule Detection in CT Scans
In this paper we describe a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for automated detection of pulmonary nodules in computed-tomography (CT) images. After extracting the pulmonary parenchyma using a combination of image processing techniques, a region growing method is applied to detect nodules based on 3D geometric features. We applied the CAD system to CT scans collected in a screening program ...
متن کاملFeature Extraction Based Lung Nodule Detection in CT Images
Lung cancer diagnosis using pattern classification is the active research topics in medical image processing. Feature extraction is considered as an essential step in medical image analysis and classification. Computer aided segmentation for computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are finding the application in computer aided diagnosis, clinical studies, and treatment plan...
متن کاملDetection of lung cancer using CT images based on novel PSO clustering
Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases that cause a large number of deaths. Early detection and analysis can be very helpful for successful treatment. Image segmentation plays a key role in the early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer. K-means algorithm and classic PSO clustering are the most common methods for segmentation that have poor outputs. In t...
متن کاملDetection of Lung Nodule Using Content Based Medical Image Retrieval
Lung cancer is the most important cause of cancer death for both men and women. The early detection of cancer can be helpful in curing the disease completely. So the requirement of techniques to detect the occurrence of cancer nodule in early stage is increasing. There are different technique exists but none of those provide better accuracy of detection. This provides content based medical imag...
