Texture Classification in Pulmonary CT
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter presents a comparative study of texture classification in computed tomography images of the human lungs. Popular texture descriptors used in the medical image analysis literature for texture-based emphysema classification are described and evaluated within the same classification framework. Further, it is investigated whether combining the different descriptors is beneficial.

Automated classification of pulmonary nodules through a retrospective analysis of conventional CT and two-phase PET images in patients undergoing biopsy
Objective(s): Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination is commonly used for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules since it provides both anatomical and functional information. However, given the dependence of this evaluation on physician’s subjective judgment, the results could be variable. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated scheme for the classific...
متن کامل3D Texture Analysis of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules Using Co-occurrence Matrix from Volumetric Lung CT Images
In this paper we have investigated a new approach for texture features extraction using co-occurrence matrix from volumetric lung CT image. Traditionally texture analysis is performed in 2D and is suitable for images collected from 2D imaging modality. The use of 3D imaging modalities provide the scope of texture analysis from 3D object and 3D texture feature are more realistic to represent 3D ...
متن کاملTransfer learning for multi-center classification of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease which can be quantified using chest computed tomography (CT) scans. Recent studies have shown that COPD can be automatically diagnosed using weakly supervised learning of intensity and texture distributions. However, up till now such classifiers have only been evaluated on scans from a single domain, and it is unclear whether they w...
متن کاملClassification of Emphysema Subtypes: Comparative Assessment of Local Binary Patterns and Related Texture Features
The purpose of this study was to assess usefulness of local binary patterns (LBP) and related texture features, namely completed local binary patterns (CLBP) and local ternary patterns (LTP), for the classification of emphysema subtypes on low-dose CT images. Fifty patients (34 men and 16 women; age, 67.5 ± 10.1 years) who underwent low-dose CT (60 mAs) were included. They were comprised of 17 ...
متن کاملLearning COPD Sensitive Filters in Pulmonary CT
The standard approaches to analyzing emphysema in computed tomography (CT) images are visual inspection and the relative area of voxels below a threshold (RA). The former approach is subjective and impractical in a large data set and the latter relies on a single threshold and independent voxel information, ignoring any spatial correlation in intensities. In recent years, supervised learning on...
