Abstract
A new computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme for detecting lung nodules is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the lung region is segmented from the CT data using adaptive threshold algorithm etc; Secondly, building active contour model to segment and remove lung vessel accurately in the lung region; Next, suspicious nodules are detected and omitted renal vessel is filtered using a selective shape filter; Finally, nodule features are extracted and rule-based classifier is used to distinguish true or false positive nodules. Experiment results indicate that this scheme can help radiologist improve the diagnosis efficiency.
