A REVIEW ON COMPUTER AIDED DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS OF LUNG CANCER NODULES
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper, a attempt has been made to summarize some of the information about CAD and CADx for the purpose of early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer. Computer Aided Detection (CADe) and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CADx), are procedures in medical information that assist doctors in the interpretation of medical images. Imaging techniques in X-ray, MRI, and Ultrasound diagnostics yield a great deal of information, which the radiologist has to analyze and evaluate comprehensively in a short time. Thus, the use of digital computers to assist practitioners and physicians in diagnosing diseases and to offer a rapid access to medical information gained importance. CAD systems help scan digital images, e.g. from Computed Tomography (CT), for typical appearances and to highlight conspicuous sections, such as focal areas of lung nodules.
