Pulmonary Tumor Volume Detection from Positron Emission Tomography Images

Abstract: Lung carcinoma is one of the most lethal of cancers worldwide. Positron emission tomography (PET) data has greater sensitivity and specificity in the staging of lung cancer than computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Inaccurate detection of the tumor volume by the physicians is the largest source of error in the efficient planning of radiation treatment. In this paper we present an automated process of tumor delineation and volume detection from each frame of PET lung images. We have rep… Show more

“…As low dose CT has been proven to minimize mortality, the issues of CT screening are recognized as manageable, with the possible exception of cost (Gould et al, 2013). With PET images, greater accuracy of 97% is accomplished through the use of the SVM classifier (Kanakatte et al, 2008). Numerous advantages of SVMs include efficiency with high-dimensional spaces, maintained efficiency even when the number of dimensions exceeds the sample number, and memory efficiency owing to the use of a subset of training points in the decision function (called support vector).…”

“…For the analysis of the proposed method CT image is sufficient also the visibility of soft tissue is better. There are several types of lung cancer, and these are divided into two main groups: Small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer which has three subtypes: Carcinoma, Adeno carcinoma and Squamous cell carcinomas [1].…”
