چکیده مقاله:

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 three-dimensional feature analysis algorithm, which were suspicious areas of pulmonary nodules and automatic diagnosis for evaluation, and the area segmentation results by active contour model, were compared with the results of the donation by the physician. Finally, to categorize the areas into two groups of cancerous and non-cancerous helping the MATLAB software Ver. 2014 b using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with three linear kernels, cubic polynomial and a kernel of the radial base function and repeated measurements test were analyzed at level of P≤0.05. Results: The mean error for 10 cancer patients and 10 healthy individuals was 0.023 and 0.453, respectively and the best results were obtained using the RBF (Radial Basis Function) kernel algorithm and the σ = 0.28 parameter for it. Using the local area-based active contour model, the zoning time was reduced from 18.66 to 5 seconds on average and the calculated distances were calculated to be less than or equal to 0.75 mm; which indicates an increase in the speed of identification of high-precision pulmonary nodules. Conclusion: In the proposed algorithm, the amount of false positive error and the time of identifying the nodules were significantly reduced and all areas suspected of being cancerous were identified with high accuracy and speed.

A New Method for Computer Aided Detection of Pulmonary Nodules in X-ray CT Images

In this paper, we propose a new method for computer aided detection of pulmonary nodules in X-ray CT images to reduce false positive (FP) rate under high true positive (TP) rate conditions. An essential core of the method is to extract and combine two novel and effective features from the raw CT images: One is orientation features of nodules in a region of interest (ROI) extracted by a Gabor fi...

Lung Nodule Detection on Chest CT: Evaluation of a Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) System

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the capacity of a computer-aided detection (CAD) system to detect lung nodules in clinical chest CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 210 consecutive clinical chest CT scans and their reports were reviewed by two chest radiologists and 70 were selected (33 without nodules and 37 with 1-6 nodules, 4-15.4 mm in diameter). The CAD system (ImageChecker CT LN-1000) developed ...

A New Method for Spherical Object Detection and Its Application to Computer Aided Detection of Pulmonary Nodules in CT Images

A novel method called local shape controlled voting has been developed for spherical object detection in 3D voxel images. By introducing local shape properties into the voting procedure of normal overlap, the proposed method improves the capability of differentiating spherical objects from other structures, as the normal overlap technique only measures the 'density' of normal overlapping, while...
