Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for automatically detecting and delineating the location of pulmonary nodules based on a convolutional classifier, and belongs to the fields of computer vision-based pulmonary nodule detection, medical image retrieval and the like. Background technique
[0002] Lung cancer is considered to be the number one killer threatening human health because of its extremely high morbidity and mortality. The early manifestations of lung cancer on medical imaging are usually solitary pulmonary nodules. In order to objectively provide doctors with suspicious pulmonary nodule markers, a lung CAD system was introduced to assist doctors in diagnosis. After the computer diagnosis system automatically diagnoses and analyzes lung CT images, it prompts doctors for suspicious pulmonary nodules in CT images, thereby Overcome some subjective factors of doctors in diagnosis and improve the detection rate of lung cancer.
