Computer-assisted lung nodule detection system with likelihood of malignancy estimation using 3D segmentation and support vector machines

Computer-assisted lung nodule detection system with likelihood of malignancy estimation using 3D segmentation and support vector machines

Analysis of CT (Computerized Tomography)-scan images for lung nodule detection is a very challenging clinical task due to the large volume of image slices generated per examination and the similarity of nodules to other lung structures. Computer-Assisted Detection (CAD) systems, such as the one deve...
