Symmetric Curvature Patterns for Colonic Polyp Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel approach for generating a set of features derived from properties of patterns of curvature is introduced as a part of a computer aided colonic polyp detection system. The resulting sensitivity was 84% with 4.8 false positives per volume on an independent test set of 72 patients (56 polyps). When used in conjunction with other features, it allowed the detection system to reach an overall sensitivity of 94% with a false positive rate of 4.3 per volume.

An Improved 2D Colonic Polyp Segmentation Framework Based on Gradient Vector Flow Deformable Model
Computed Tomography Colonography has been proved to be a valid technique for detecting and screening colorectal cancers. In this paper, we present a framework for colonic polyp detection and segmentation. Firstly, we propose to use four different geometric features for colonic polyp detection, which include shape index, curvedness, sphericity ratio and the absolute value of inner product of max...
متن کاملEfficient Seeding and Defragmentation of Curvature Streamlines for Colonic Polyp Detection
Many computer aided diagnosis (CAD) schemes have been developed for colon cancer detection using Virtual Colonoscopy (VC). In earlier work, we developed an automatic polyp detection method integrating flow visualization techniques, that forms part of the CAD functionality of an existing Virtual Colonoscopy pipeline. Curvature streamlines were used to characterize polyp surface shape. Features d...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach for False Positive Reduction in CTC CAD
This paper presents an automated detection method for identifying colonic polyps and reducing false positives (FPs) in CT images. It formulates the problem of polyp detection as a probability calculation through a unified Bayesian statistical model. The polyp likelihood is modeled with a combination of shape and intensity features. A second principal curvature PDE provides a shape model; and th...
متن کاملCandidate Determination for Computer Aided Detection of Colon Polyps
Given a segmented CT scan data of the colon represented as a triangle mesh, our water-plane algorithm will detect polyp candidates. The water-plane method comprises of pouring water into a polyp protrusion from the outside of the colon and in raising the “water-plane” until it cannot be incremented any further without causing water leakage. The method starts at a vertex and uses average normal ...
متن کاملPrincipal Curvature-Based Colonic Polyp Detection
An automatic polyp detection framework is presented based on surface curvatures, and a new color coding scheme is used to highlight the detected polyps which enhances the visualization. An accurate estimate for the surface curvature together with three geometric features is used to detect the polyps. We place the detected polyps inside a polygonal dataset with exactly the same topology and geom...
