CT Image Based Computer-Aided Lung Cancer Diagnosis
An early stage detection of lung cancer is extremely important for survival rate and quality of life (QOL) of patients (Naruke et al., 1988). Although a nationwide periodical group medical examination is conducted in Japan by diagnosing chest X-ray images, such group examination is not often good enough to detect the lung cancer accurately and thus there is a high possibility that the cancer at...
متن کاملComputer-aided diagnosis of pancreatic and lung cancer
when we talk about cancer diagnosis the most important thing is early diagnosis to prevent cancer cells from spreading. We may also consider the high cost of diagnostic tests. Our approach seeks to address both problems. It uses a software based on Bayesian networks that simulates the causeeffect relationships and gets the chance of suffering a pancreatic cancer or lung cancer. This software wo...
متن کاملA computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system in lung cancer screening with computed tomography.
We evaluated a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system with automatic detection of pulmonary nodules for lung cancer screening with computed tomography (CT). Five hundred and eighteen participants were examined with low-dose helical CT during a lung cancer screening by three respiratory physicians according to the General Rule edited by the Japan Lung Cancer Society. Four cases were detected by C...
متن کاملComputer-Aided Diagnosis Systems for Lung Cancer: Challenges and Methodologies
This paper overviews one of the most important, interesting, and challenging problems in oncology, the problem of lung cancer diagnosis. Developing an effective computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for lung cancer is of great clinical importance and can increase the patient's chance of survival. For this reason, CAD systems for lung cancer have been investigated in a huge number of research st...
متن کاملProgress in Lung Cancer Screening — CT screening and the diagnosis of small lung cancers —
Several case-control studies on lung cancer screening conducted in Japan reported that the current screening method contributes to the reduction of the risk of lung cancer death. However, the effectiveness has not been established, since randomized controlled trials (RTCs) in other countries did not confirm the effectiveness of screening in reducing lung cancer death rates. Because further impr...
