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
