Classification of Lung Regions using Morphometrics for Chest CT Scans
Medical diagnosis is extremely important but complicated task that should be performed accurately and efficiently. Disease diagnosis is one of the applications where data mining tools are proving successful results. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (also known as COPD) is a condition that makes breathing difficult. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of...
متن کاملRadiation exposure in standard and high-resolution chest CT scans.
It has been suggested that radiation doses due to high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest are considerably higher than those from conventional CT. We compared the effective dose (E, mSv) in conventional chest CT (10-mm contiguous slices) and HRCT (1.5-mm slices, gap 10 mm). In our study, the effective dose from a HRCT (0.98 mSv) is about 6.5 times less than the effective dose fr...
متن کاملRotation Time and Dose Reduction in Chest CT scans
Computed tomography is associated with exposing patients with high radiation doses. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of reducing the rotation time to reduce the dose without compromising the image quality. Two types of CT scanners were involved in this study: a 4-slice and a 16-slice scanner. A significant reduction in CTD Ivol and DLP were observed with the 4-slice scanner, with...
متن کاملAutomatic identification of lung abnormalities in chest spiral CT scans
This research aims at developing a fully automatic ComputerAssisted Diagnosis (CAD) system for lung cancer screening using chest spiral CT scans. One thousand subjects are enrolled in a chest cancer screening program in Louisville, KY, USA, which aims at quantification of the effectiveness of low dose spiral CT scans for early diagnosis of lung cancer, and evaluating its possible impact on impr...
متن کاملClinical Value of Low Dose CT- Scan in Pediatric Chest Diseases: Adequacy Assessment
Background Radiation dose about 400 times that of standard thoracic computed tomography (CT) in comparison with chest X- ray resulting in different approaches to decrease radiation dose have been established in the last few years to prevent possible side effects especially in children, such as low dose protocols. The aim of this study was assessment of clinical v...
