In this paper, we present a computer-assisted automatic diagnostic system for lung cancer that detects nodule candidates at an early stage from helical CT images of the thorax. Our diagnostic system consists of analytical and diagnostic procedures. In the analytical procedure, first we extract the l
We investigated the possibility of using computer analysis of high-resolution CT images to radiologically classify the shape of pulmonary nodules. Using a combination of circularity and second moment as quantitative measures we were able to classify pulmonary nodules in each shape group as effective
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) provides a computer output as a "second opinion" in order to assist radiologists in the diagnosis of various diseases on medical images. Currently, a significant research effort is being devoted to the detection and characterization of lung nodules in thin-section comp
