Background A proposed computer aided detection (CAD) scheme faces major issues during subtle nodule recognition. However, radiologists have not noticed subtle nodules in beginning stage of lung cancer while a proposed CAD scheme recognizes non subtle nodules using x-ray images. Method Such an issue has been resolved by creating MANN (Massive Artificial Neural Network) based soft tissue technique from the lung segmented x-ray image. A soft tissue image recognizes nodule candidate for feature extortion and classification. X-ray images are downloaded using Japanese society of radiological technology (JSRT) image set. This image set includes 233 images (140 nodule x-ray images and 93 normal x-ray images). A mean size for a nodule is 17.8 mm and it is validated with computed tomography (CT) image. Thirty percent (42/140) abnormal represents subtle nodules and it is split into five stages (tremendously subtle, very subtle, subtle, observable, relatively observable) by radiologists. Result A proposed CAD scheme without soft tissue technique attained 66.42% (93/140) sensitivity and 66.76% accuracy having 2.5 false positives per image. Utilizing soft tissue technique, many nodules superimposed by ribs as well as clavicles have identified (sensitivity is 72.85% (102/140) and accuracy is 72.96% at one false positive rate). Conclusion In particular, a proposed CAD system determine sensitivity and accuracy in support of subtle nodules (sensitivity is 14/42 = 33.33% and accuracy is 33.66%) is statistically higher than CAD (sensitivity is 13/42 = 30.95% and accuracy is 30.97%) scheme without soft tissue technique. A proposed CAD scheme attained tremendously minimum false positive rate and it is a promising technique in support of cancerous recognition due to improved sensitivity and specificity.
Background An existing computer aided detection (CAD) scheme faces major issues during subtle nodule recognition. However, radiologists have not noticed subtle nodules in beginning stage of lung cancer. Method In the proposed computer aided detection (CAD) system, this issue has been resolved by creating MTANN based soft tissue technique from the lung segmented x-ray image. X-ray images are downloaded using JSRT(Japanese society of radiological technology) image set. JSRT image set includes 233 images (140 nodule x-ray images and 93 normal x-ray images). A mean size for a nodule is 17.8 mm and it is validated with computed tomography (CT) image. Thirty percent (42/140) abnormal represent subtle nodules and it is split into five stages (tremendously subtle, very subtle, subtle, observable, relatively observable) by radiologists. Result An existing computer aided detection (CAD) scheme attained 66.42% (93/140) sensitivity having 2.5 false positives (FPs) per image. Utilizing MTANN based soft tissue technique, many nodules superimposed by ribs as well as clavicles have identified (sensitivity is 72.85% (102/140) at one false positive rate). Conclusion In particular, proposed computer aided detection (CAD) system using soft tissue technique determine sensitivity in support of subtle nodules (14/42=33.33%) is statistically higher than CAD (13/42=30.95%) scheme without soft tissue technique. A proposed CAD scheme attained tremendously minimum false positive rate and it is a promising technique in support of cancerous recognition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
