About this document
Lung Area Extraction for CAD in CT Images by Bara Prok is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a technique for extracting lung areas from X-ray CT images using an active contour model. The active contour model can converge to local optima rather than the global optimum, depending on the initial contour setting. The authors propose using anatomical features of lung shape to select an appropriate initial contour that resembles the target lung area. This helps avoid local optima and obtain more accurate extraction of isolated pulmonary nodules, improving computer-aided diagnosis o
