three cuts method for identification of copd.

چکیده
two main forms of copd (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) refer to a group of lung diseases that block airflow and cause a huge degree of human suffering. a new method for identifying and estimating the severity of copd from three-dimensional (3-d) pulmonary x-ray ct images would be helpful for evaluation of treatment effects and early diagnosing is presented in this paper. this method has five main steps. firstly, corresponding positions of lungs in inspiration and expiration are found based on anatomical structures. secondly, lung regions are segmented from the ct images by active contours. next, the left and right lungs are separated using a sequence of morphological operations. then, parenchyma variations of three main cuts which selected by a feed-forward neural network are found based on the inspiratory and expiratory states. finally, a pattern classifier is used to decide about the disease and its severity. twenty patients with air-trapping problems and twelve normal adults were enrolled in this study. based on the results, a mathematical model was developed to relate variations of lung volumes to severity of disease. the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (ppv), negative predictive value (npv) and the accuracy of our method for right regions were %81.6, %80.5, %87.5, %72.5 and %81.3 respectively. and these parameters for left regions were %90, %83.3, %90, %83.3 and %87.5 respectively. the proposed method may assist radiologists in detection of asthma and copd as a computer aided diagnosis (cad) system.

متن کاملThree Cuts for Accelerated Interval Propagation
This paper addresses the problem of nonlinear multivariate root nding. In an earlier paper we describe a system called Newton which nds roots of systems of nonlinear equations using re nements of interval methods. The re nements are inspired by AI constraint propagation techniques. Newton is competitive with continuation methods on most benchmarks and can handle a variety of cases that are infe...

Airway abnormalities in the form of morphological changes are associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Computerized Tomography (CT) is becoming an increasingly popular imaging tool to investigate these pathologies. This thesis focuses on airway wall segmentation algorithms applicable for such investigations. We present a globally optimal three-dimensional graph cut algorith...
متن کاملVision-based method for tracking meat cuts in slaughterhouses.
Meat traceability is important for linking process and quality parameters from the individual meat cuts back to the production data from the farmer that produced the animal. Current tracking systems rely on physical tagging, which is too intrusive for individual meat cuts in a slaughterhouse environment. In this article, we demonstrate a computer vision system for recognizing meat cuts at diffe...
متن کاملSkeleton Cuts - An Efficient Segmentation Method for Volume Rendering
Volume rendering has long been used as a key technique for volume data visualization, which works by using a transfer function to map color and opacity to each voxel. Many volume rendering approaches proposed so far for voxels classification have been limited in a single global transfer function, which is in general unable to properly visualize interested structures. In this paper, we propose a...
