Title
Nodule detection algorithm based on multislice CT images for lung cancer screening
Abstract
Recently, the development of multi-row multi-slice CT scanner proves precise measure of whole lung area in short time period. The CT scanner improves spatial resolution along z-axis and time resolution. Therefore, this CT image is effective for diagnosis of lung cancer as well as the other lung lesions, and leads the early detection. The development of a diagnosis support system is expected to diagnose these images. So far, we have developed a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to automatically detect suspicious regions based on helical CT image. However, the algorithm isn't enough in multi-slice CT images because of two-dimensional algorithm and un-recognizing of the chest structure. This paper presents an algorithm of nodules detection using the three-dimensional (3-D) algorithm and recognizing of the chest structure based on multi-slice CT images, and we show the validity of detection algorithm of isolated nodules using 286 data sets.
