Identification of Paediatric Tuberculosis from Airway Shape Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical signs of paediatric pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) include stenosis and deformation of the airways. This paper presents two methods to analyse airway shape and detect airway pathology from CT images. Features were extracted using (1) the principal components of the airway surface mesh and (2) branch radius and orientation features. These methods were applied to a dataset of 61 TB and non-TB paediatric patients. Nested cross-validation of the support vector classifier found the sensitivity of detecting TB to be 86% and a specificity of 91% for the first 10 PCA modes while radius based features had a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 94%. These methods show the potential of computer assisted detection of TB and other airway pathology from airway shape deformation.

متن کامل2D X-ray airway tree segmentation by 3D deformable model projection and registration
Chest x-rays (CXR) still play an important role in detection of airway disease. Airway stenosis is a key sign of disease such as paediatric tuberculosis but is challenging to measure in CXR because the airway has relatively low contrast compared to overlying structures. In this study a novel approach to identify airways in CXRs is introduced, using a 3D statistical shape model to guide the segm...

In this paper, we present a machine vision system that was developed on the basis of neural networks to identify twelve houseplants. Image processing system was used to extract 41 features of color, texture and shape from the images taken from front and back of the leaves. The features were fed into the neural network system as the recognition criteria and inputs. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) ne...
