Ultrasound detection of colonic polyps: perspective

Skeleton Based 3D Computer Aided Detection of Colonic Polyps

In this paper, we propose a new computer aided detection (CAD) technique to utilize both global and local shape information of the colon wall for detection of colonic polyps. Firstly, the whole colon wall is extracted by our mixture-based image segmentation method. This method uses partial volume percentages to represent the distribution of different materials in each voxel, so it provides the ...

Computer-Aided Detection of Colonic Polyps using Volume Rendering

This work utilizes a novel pipeline for the computer-aided detection (CAD) of colonic polyps, assisting radiologists in locating polyps when using a virtual colonoscopy system. Our CAD pipeline automatically detects polyps while reducing the number of false positives (FPs). It integrates volume rendering and conformal colon flattening with texture and shape analysis. The colon is first digitall...

The automated detection of colonic polyps using computed-tomography data

A new technique is implemented for the automated detection of colonic polyps from a CT scan, which is less invasive and less expensive than the standard colonoscopy. It is usually recommended that all persons over the age of 50 be regularly screened for colon cancer. However, the standard process, colonoscopy, is expensive and invasive. As a result, only a fraction of those who need screening a...

Investigating the Relationship between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer and Colonic Polyps

Background: Colorectal cancer is a common cancer and has a high rate of mortality and morbidity. This can be reduced by screening tests. Some of the studies have recently referred to Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) as a marker for early detection of various cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the RDW and early detection of colorectal cancer and polyp. M...
