Ground-Glass Nodule Characterization in High-Resolution CT Scans
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the literature related to ground-glass nodules (GGNs) and evaluates effectiveness of RAGF algorithm, proposed by our previous work [45, 46], for pulmonary nodule characterization of GGN cases in the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images. The literature on GGNs in radiology, pathology and medical image analysis are surveyed and discussed. The nomenclature for GGNs are also summarized in order to clarify some confusion in the literature. The RAGF algorithm is evaluated by using a HRCT dataset consisting of 56 GGN cases. This chapter outlines the RAGF algorithm in some detail and discusses the experimental results with the GGN dataset.

متن کاملSquamous cell carcinoma of the lung showing a ground glass nodule on high-resolution computed tomography associated with pneumoconiosis: a case report
BACKGROUND Adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth pattern presents as a ground glass nodule (GGN) on high resolution computed tomography (CT), whereas peripheral pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) usually presents as a solid nodule. We herein report a rare case of pulmonary SCC extending along the alveolar lumen representing as a GGN on a CT scan in a patient with pneumoconiosis. CASE PRESEN...
متن کاملMulti-view multi-scale CNNs for lung nodule type classification from CT images
In this paper, we propose a novel convolution neural networks (CNNs) based method for nodule type classification. Compared with classical approaches that are handling four solid nodule types, i.e., well-circumscribed, vascularized, juxtapleural and pleural-tail, our method could also achieve competitive classification rates on ground glass optical (GGO) nodules and non-nodules in computed tomog...
