Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among people worldwide. The primary aim of this research is to establish an image processing method for lung cancer detection. This paper focuses on lung region segmentation from computed tomography (CT) scan images. In this work, a new procedure for lung region segmentation is proposed. First, the lung CT scan images will undergo an image thresholding stage before going through two morphological reconstruction and masking stages. In between morphological and masking stages, object extraction, border change, and object elimination will occur. Finally, the lung field will be annotated. The outcomes of the proposed procedure and previous lung segmentation methods i.e., the modified watershed segmentation method is compared with the ground truth images for performance evaluation that will be carried out both in qualitative and quantitative manners. Based on the analyses, the new proposed procedure for lung segmentation, denotes better performance, an increment by 0.02% to 3.5% in quantitative analysis. The proposed procedure produced better-segmented images for qualitative analysis and became the most frequently selected method by the 22 experts. This study shows that the outcome from the proposed method outperforms the existing modified watershed segmentation method.

Abstract

Intelligence algorithm systems rely on a large dataset to effectively extract significant features that can recognize patterns for classification purposes and extensively utilized to assist the physicians in diagnosis of lung cancer. Extracting valuable features from the available dataset is crucial, especially in cases where additional real data may not be readily accessible. In this context, we propose a novel method called feature extraction based on centroid (FE_CXY) for lesion localization, utilizing a statistical approach. The approach begins with a segmentation process that employs image processing techniques to extract features of interest which is data centroid. This extracted data is then used to compute statistical measurements, revealing hidden patterns that contribute to distinguishing between lesion and non-lesion locations. The method’s efficiency is reflected in the development of robust models with improved performance in localizing lung lesions. The study’s statistical findings strongly indicate that FE_CXY plays a crucial role as an important feature for detecting lesion localization supported by a student’s t-test, which identifies a statistically significant difference in the patterns between lesion and non-lesion localization (p<0.05). By incorporating this method into lung cancer detection systems, we anticipate improved accuracy and efficacy, thereby benefiting early diagnosis and treatment planning.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a global leading cause of female mortality. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is pivotal for early breast cancer detection, with microcalcifications serving as crucial indicators. However, the movement of the DBT machine introduces blurry artefacts, potentially impacting accurate diagnosis. This study addresses this challenge by proposing an adaptive fuzzy weighted median filter (AFWMF) to enhance DBT images and aid microcalcification diagnosis. AFWMF automatically determines optimal parameters based on input images, outperforming conventional methods with a threshold range (C) from peak to end of switching. Quantitative assessment reveals peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), and mean absolute error (MAE) values of 96.2267 and 0.0000636, respectively, demonstrating a significant improvement in microcalcification detection. This study contributes an effective and adaptive enhancement technique for DBT images, promising better breast cancer diagnosis, particularly in microcalcification scenarios.
