Automatic Lung Nodule Detection from Chest CT Data Using Geometrical Features: Initial Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a complete system for automatic lung nodule detection from Chest CT data is proposed. The proposed system includes the methods of lung segmentation and nodule detection from CT data. The algorithm for lung segmentation consists of surrounding air voxel removal, body fat/tissue identification, trachea detection, and pulmonary vessels segmentation. The nodule detection algorithm comprises of candidate surface generation, geometrical feature generation and classification. The proposed system shows 88.2% sensitivity for nodule >=3mm with 8.91 false positive per dataset.

Introduction: In the lung cancers, a computer-aided detection system that is capable of detecting very small glands in high volume of CT images is very useful.This study provided a novelsystem for detection of pulmonary nodules in CT image. Methods: In a case-control study, CT scans of the chest of 20 patients referred to Yazd Social Security Hospital were examined. In the two-dimensional and ...
متن کاملLung Segmentation Using Prediction-Based Segmentation Improvement for Chest Tomosynthesis
Chest radiography which is the most common imaging method for lung is difficult to distinguish the lung vessels and nodules due to characteristics of representing the chest in a single image and shading occurred by organs. Computed Tomography(CT) scan has excellent lung nodule detection sensitivity because it produces chest images as volume data, but it has a large amount of exposure dose and i...

Early detection may be of critical importance in lung cancer prognosis. Multi-detector Computed Tomography (CT) increases sensitivity in early lung cancer detection by potentially identifying nodules of smaller size. A Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system for automatic identification of lung nodules is proposed. The system is multistage, including segmentation of lung boundaries, initial nodul...
متن کاملAutomatic Lung Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Using Hand Crafted and Deep Learning Features
This paper presents a lung nodule detection and classification system which utilizes a combination of hand crafted and deep learning features. Hand crafted features were obtained from modified methods of bag of frequencies, and taxonomic indices. We included a robust radius estimation algorithm that resulted in an average error of 1.29 pixels. Hand crafted features were obtained from 3D low dos...
