METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL DETECTION OF LUNGS NODULES IN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SCANS |
摘要 |
A method, system and computer readable medium for automated detection of lung nodules in computed tomography (CT) image scans, including generating two-dimensional segmented lung images by segmenting a plurality of two-dimensional CT image sections derived from the CT image scans; generating three-dimensional segmented lung volume images by combining the two-dimensional segmented lung images; determining three-dimensional lung nodule candidates from the three-dimensional segmented lung volume images, including, identifying structures within the three-dimensional segmented lung volume images that meet a volume criterion; deriving features from the lung nodule candidates; and detecting lung nodules by analyzing the features to eliminate false-positive nodule candidates from the nodule candidates. |
