Chest x-ray findings on pyrophyllitosis.

An outline of the chest X-ray findings on pyrophyllitosis was described in terms of working environments and its length of term in the dust. It was clarified that in pyrophyllitosis granular shadows were distributed in the upper and middle lung :fields, which used to indicate an accretion trend at an early stage. A fast development of :fibrosis in the lung was also assumed, from which standpoin...

Chest X-ray features extraction for lung cancer classification

This study presents a computer algorithm, which consists of four main steps (image acquisition, image pre-processing, nodule candidate detection, and feature extraction) for nodule detection in chest radiographs. Algorithm is applied on small-cell type of lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell type of lung cancer (NSCLC) images. Total 50 images (25 from each category) were used to estimate geome...

Deep mycoses in patients with abnormal chest X ray findings.

Deep mycoses were first reported in Venezuela early in this century, when the Venezuelan medical literature began registering the occurrence of mycetomas caused by Actinomyces and Eumycetes (I-4). The earliest literature on confirmed cases of sporotrichosis appeared in the 1930s (5L 6, 7), when the existence of paracoccidioidomycosis (8, 9, 10) and chromomycosis (11, 12) was also demonstrated. ...
