Potential Lung Nodules Identification for Characterization by Variable Multistep Threshold and Shape Indices from CT Images
Computed tomography (CT) is an important imaging modality. Physicians, surgeons, and oncologists prefer CT scan for diagnosis of lung cancer. However, some nodules are missed in CT scan. Computer aided diagnosis methods are useful for radiologists for detection of these nodules and early diagnosis of lung cancer. Early detection of malignant nodule is helpful for treatment. Computer aided diagn...
متن کاملLung Lobes and Nodules in Ct Images
The objective of this paper is to develop a segmentation system in order to assist the surgeons to remove the portion of lung for the treatment of certain illness such as lung cancer, and tumours. The fissures of lung lobes are not seen by naked eyes in low dose CT image, there is a proposal for automatic segmentation system. The lung lobes and nodules in CT image are segmented using two stage ...
متن کاملAutomated detection of lung nodules in CT images using shape-based genetic algorithm
A shape-based genetic algorithm template-matching (GATM) method is proposed for the detection of nodules with spherical elements. A spherical-oriented convolution-based filtering scheme is used as a pre-processing step for enhancement. To define the fitness function for GATM, a 3D geometric shape feature is calculated at each voxel and then combined into a global nodule intensity distribution. ...
متن کاملLung Area Extraction from X-ray CT Images for Computer-aided Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules by using Active Contour Model
In this paper, we develop a lung area extraction technique from X-ray computed tomography (CT) images for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems. In lung cancer cases, pulmonary nodules are typical pathological changes and thus they are the target to be detected by CAD systems. The isolated nodules can be detected more easily by CAD systems developed previously, while previous CAD systems are o...
متن کاملRecognition of Lung Nodules from X-ray CT Images Using 3D Markov Random Field Models
In this paper, we propose a new recognition method of lung nodules from X-ray CT images using 3D Markov random field(MRF) models. Pathological shadow candidates are detected by a mathematical morphology filter, and volume of interest(VOI) areas which include the shadow candidates are extracted. The probabilities of the hypotheses that the VOI areas come from nodules(which are candidates of canc...
