Computer-aided diagnosis in chest radiography

چکیده
We have developed computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) schemes for the detection of lung nodules, interstitial lung diseases, interval changes, and asymmetric opacities, and also for the differential diagnosis of lung nodules and interstitial lung diseases on chest radiographs. Observer performance studies indicate clearly that radiologists' diagnostic accuracy was improved significantly when radiologists used a computer output in their interpretations of chest radiographs. In addition, the automated recognition methods for the patient and the projection view by use of chest radiographs were useful for integrating the chest CAD schemes into the picture-archiving and communication system (PACS).

II. Aetna considers computer-aided detection for chest radiographs experimental and investigational for screening or diagnosis of lung cancer and for all other indications. There is presently inadequate evidence in the medical literature that population-based mass lung cancer screening with computer-aided detection for chest radiographs will contribute substantially to the detection of smaller ...
متن کاملApplication of a Computer-aid Diagnosis of Pneumoconiosis for CR X-ray Images
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 ...
متن کاملThe long and winding road of chest radiography for tuberculosis detection.
Introduction The aspiration to ensure early diagnosis for all people with tuberculosis (TB) [1], combined with recent advancements in digital technology, has brought chest radiography back to the forefront for TB detection. Once a mainstay for TB control in the community, but discouraged once bacteriology became the standard for TB diagnosis, chest radiography has recently come back into favour...

The use of image processing techniques and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems has proved to be effective for the improvement of radiologists’ diagnosis, especially in the case of lung nodules detection. In this paper we describe a method for processing Postero Anterior chest radiographs which extracts a set of nodule candidate regions characterized by low cardinality and high sensitivity ra...
متن کاملDevelopments in Computer Aided Diagnosis Used for Tuberculosis Detection Using Chest Radiography: a Survey
One of the major health problems of global concern is Tuberculosis (TB). According to global report of the WHO, approximately 1.3 million people, out of the 8.6 million reported, died of TB in 2012. Most of the TB deaths can be prevented if it is detected at an early stage. Hindrance to this is improper diagnosis at initial stages. Chest X ray (CXR) image is the primary medical diagnosis used f...
