Computer Aided CT Screening System for Lung Cancer

A New Computer-Aided Detection System for Pulmonary Nodule in CT Scan Images of Cancerous Patients

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 ...

CT Image Based Computer-Aided Lung Cancer Diagnosis

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...

CT screening for lung cancer.

Recommendations against screening for lung cancer were based on the lack of a reduction in mortality of the screened group as compared with the control group in randomized control trials. These results were interpreted as showing that early detection of lung cancer as a result of screening did not decrease the mortality rate compared with detection after presentation of symptoms for the populat...
