Computer-aided detection and quantification of cavitary tuberculosis from CT scans.
PURPOSE To present a computer-aided detection tool for identifying, quantifying, and evaluating tuberculosis (TB) cavities in the infected lungs from computed tomography (CT) scans. METHODS The authors' proposed method is based on a novel shape-based automated detection algorithm on CT scans followed by a fuzzy connectedness (FC) delineation procedure. In order to assess interaction between c...
متن کاملA New Computer-Aided Detection System for Pulmonary Nodule in CT Scan Images of Cancerous Patients
Introduction: In the lung cancers, a computer-aided detection system that is capable of detecting very small glands in high volume of CT images is very useful.This study provided a novelsystem for detection of pulmonary nodules in CT image. Methods: In a case-control study, CT scans of the chest of 20 patients referred to Yazd Social Security Hospital were examined. In the two-dimensional and ...
متن کاملPulmonary nodules on multi-detector row CT scans: performance comparison of radiologists and computer-aided detection.
PURPOSE To compare the performance of radiologists and of a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm for pulmonary nodule detection on thin-section thoracic computed tomographic (CT) scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was approved by the institutional review board. The requirement of informed consent was waived. Twenty outpatients (age range, 15-91 years; mean, 64 years) were examined wit...
متن کاملCT Scans with Neurocysticercosis in Epileptics Patients: A Computer-Based Method for Detection and Quantification
We describe a computational method to assist radiologists in performing better, more reliable and simpler diagnosis of neurocysticercosis (NC). Based on this method we implemented a software system that counts and measures the calcifications related to NC in computed tomography (CT) scans, thus reducing errors regarding visual inspection and providing better quantitative data. During computatio...
متن کاملComputer Aided Detection of Polyps in CT Colonography
PURPOSE A massive-training artificial neural network (MTANN) has been developed for the reduction of false positives (FPs) in computer-aided detection (CADe) of polyps in CT colonography (CTC). A major limitation of the MTANN is the long training time. To address this issue, the authors investigated the feasibility of two state-of-the-art regression models, namely, support vector regression (SV...
