Abstract

Early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer, causing most of cancer-related deaths worldwide, can improve effectiveness of the treatment and increase chances of patients to survive. Comparing to conventional chest radiography, advanced lung imaging modalities, for example, low-dose helical CT, cone-beam CT, and PET (positron emission tomography), together with the progress of image analysis techniques provide the means for detecting smaller pulmonary nodules and at earlier stages. These developments help in diagnosing other diseases and conditions, such as chronic obstructive lung disease, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary embolism, too.
