A Computer-Aided Diagnosis System for Lung Cancer Examination

In the present, lung cancer ranks the highest in terms of cancer-related mortality in Taiwan. Therefore, early lung cancer screening is really necessary to extend patient's life. In this study, we will integrate the computer science and medical imaging on the continuous lung CT images to assist the lung cancer examination. We will propose an efficient framework of texture acquisition and contour segmentation by some useful image processing methods. The experiment results show that the performance of this system is satisfactory.
