A Computer-Aided Detection System for Digital Chest Radiographs
Computer-aided detection systems aim at the automatic detection of diseases using different medical imaging modalities. In this paper, a novel approach to detecting normality/pathology in digital chest radiographs is proposed. The problem tackled is complicated since it is not focused on particular diseases but anything that differs from what is considered as normality. First, the areas of inte...
متن کاملComputer-Aided Detection of Acinar Shadows in Chest Radiographs
Despite the technological advances in medical diagnosis, accurate detection of infectious tuberculosis (TB) still poses challenges due to complex image features and thus infectious TB continues to be a public health problem of global proportions. Currently, the detection of TB is mainly conducted visually by radiologists examining chest radiographs (CXRs). To reduce the backlog of CXR examinati...
متن کاملComputer Aided Detection for Pneumoconiosis Screening on Digital Chest Radiographs
This paper presents a computer aided detection scheme on digital chest radiographs for pneumoconiosis screening. The scheme involves several medical image processing and analysis technologies, i.e. lung segmentation algorithm using the active shape model, image enhancement and features extraction from lung regions, feature down-selection by correlation analysis and clustering method, classifica...
متن کاملDevelopments in Computer Aided Diagnosis Used for Tuberculosis Detection Using Chest Radiography: a Survey
One of the major health problems of global concern is Tuberculosis (TB). According to global report of the WHO, approximately 1.3 million people, out of the 8.6 million reported, died of TB in 2012. Most of the TB deaths can be prevented if it is detected at an early stage. Hindrance to this is improper diagnosis at initial stages. Chest X ray (CXR) image is the primary medical diagnosis used f...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Computer-Aided Detection of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Chest Radiographs: A Validation Study from Sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND Chest radiography to diagnose and screen for pulmonary tuberculosis has limitations, especially due to inter-reader variability. Automating the interpretation has the potential to overcome this drawback and to deliver objective and reproducible results. The CAD4TB software is a computer-aided detection system that has shown promising preliminary findings. Evaluation studies in differ...
