Chest X-ray features extraction for lung cancer classification
نویسنده
چکیده
This study presents a computer algorithm, which consists of four main steps (image acquisition, image pre-processing, nodule candidate detection, and feature extraction) for nodule detection in chest radiographs. Algorithm is applied on small-cell type of lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell type of lung cancer (NSCLC) images. Total 50 images (25 from each category) were used to estimate geometrical and texture features. Active shape model (ASM) was used for lung field segmentation. Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) was used to estimate texture features.

An early stage detection of lung cancer is extremely important for survival rate and quality of life (QOL) of patients (Naruke et al., 1988). Although a nationwide periodical group medical examination is conducted in Japan by diagnosing chest X-ray images, such group examination is not often good enough to detect the lung cancer accurately and thus there is a high possibility that the cancer at...
