Application of a Computer-aid Diagnosis of Pneumoconiosis for CR X-ray Images

چکیده
This paper presents a method for applying a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) for pneumoconiosis to chest X-ray images digitalized by the computed radiography (CR) system. When we reported the CAD before, we showed performance of the CAD for chest X-ray images digitalized by a CCD scanner. However, since density distribution of the CR X-ray images is quite different from the images digitalized by CCD scanner, it is necessary to equip some preprocessing into the CAD for applying to the CR images. In this paper, as the first trial for the application, drawing rib edges and additional lines on the CR images by a tablet PC, we examined whether the CAD can be interactively applied to the CR images. Using 51 chest CR X-ray images, we compared the proposed CAD system with the existing system for the images digitalized by CCD scanner.

Traditional film-screen radiography (FSR) has been useful in the recognition and evaluation of interstitial lung diseases, but is becoming increasingly obsolete. To evaluate the applicability of storage phosphor digital computed radiography (CR) images in the recognition of small lung opacities, we compared image quality and the profusion of small opacities between FSR and CR radiographs. We sc...
