Abstract:Pleuramesothelioma is malignant tumor on the pleura, caused by asbestos exposure. Computer-assisted diagnosis system shall support physicians to assess the growth rate of detected pleural thickenings from CT data. This paper describes a new, improved method to automatically assess the size of detected thickening using thin plate spline interpolation which then leads to the 3D modeling of thickening. First, we detect each pleural thickening. Second, an automatic coordinate transformation is applied to enable th… Show more
