Automatic lung nodule detection system using image processing techniques in computed tomography

Diagnosing and treating lung cancer at an early stage can improve the survival rate of patients. This study attempted to develop a computer-aided detection (CAD) system. In order to include all nodule types in the detection, this study proposes an image processing method for detecting ground glass opacity (GGO), part solid, and solid nodules in chest computed tomography. The process comprises image preprocessing, lung segmentation, nodule...
