Computer-aided Diagnosis for Diffuse Lung Diseases on Three-dimensional Thoracic CT images
We have developed computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) algorithms using three-dimensional thoracic CT images. There are two targets in the development of CAD algorithms for pulmonary diseases. One is CAD for localized pulmonary diseases. In this target,CAD for pulmonary nodule detection is important and many algorithms are published The other is CAD for diffuse lung diseases. This target includes many kinds of diseases and variety of texture patterns. In the CAD for difuuse lung diseases,morhological and functional viewpoints are important However,number of published algorithms for this is smaller than that for localized pulmonary diseases. Here,we present CAD algorithms using thoracic CT images for especially diffuse lung diseases. By use of our CAD algorihtms,it will be expected that the radiologists will be able to obtain objective and quantitative information about diffuse lung diseases,and use this information as a second opinion. Also,our CAD algorithms are expected to contribute the clarification of the diagnostic logic and the improvement of the diagnostic accuracy for the diffuse lung diseases for which imaging diagnosis is difficult.
