    • A method, system and computer readable medium configured for computerized detection of lung abnormalities, including obtaining a standard digital chest image and a soft-tissue digital chest image; generating a first difference image from the standard digital chest image and a second difference image from the soft-tissue digital chest image; identifying candidate abnormalities in the first and second difference images; extracting from the standard digital chest image and the first difference image predetermined first features of each of the candidate abnormalities identified in the first difference image; extracting from the soft-tissue digital chest image and the second difference images predetermined second features of each of the candidate abnormalities identified in the second difference image; analyzing the extracted first features and the extracted second features to identify and eliminate false positive candidate abnormalities respectively corresponding thereto; applying extracted features from remaining candidate abnormalities derived respectively from the first and second difference images and remaining after the elimination of the false positive candidate abnormalities to respective artificial neural networks to eliminate further false positive candidate abnormalities; performing a logical OR operation of the candidate abnormalities derived respectively from the first and second difference images and remaining after the elimination of the false positive candidate abnormalities; and outputting a signal indicative of a result of performing the logical OR operation. The logical OR combination, of locations of the candidate abnormalities detected in the first difference image and the second difference image, yields an improved detection sensitivity (over 90%) and only slightly increased false positives rate (3.2 false positives per chest image).
    • 一种用于计算机化检测肺异常的方法,系统和计算机可读介质,包括获得标准数字胸部图像和软组织数字胸部图像; 从所述标准数字胸部图像生成第一差异图像和从所述软组织数字胸部图像产生第二差异图像; 识别第一和第二差异图像中的候选异常; 从所述标准数字胸部图像中提取所述第一差异图像中的每个所述候选异常的所述第一差分图像预定的第一特征; 从所述软组织数字胸部图像中提取第二差异图像和所述第二差异图像,在所述第二差异图像中识别的每个候选异常的预定第二特征; 分析提取的第一特征和提取的第二特征以识别和消除分别对应的假阳性候选异常; 从分别来自第一和第二差异图像的剩余候选异常中应用提取的特征,并且在将假阳性候选异常消除到各个人造神经网络之后保留以消除进一步的假阳性候选异常; 执行分别从第一和第二差分图像导出的候选异常的逻辑或运算,并且在消除假阳性候选异常之后保留; 并输出表示执行逻辑或运算的结果的信号。 在第一差异图像和第二差异图像中检测到的候选异常的位置的逻辑OR组合产生改善的检测灵敏度(超过90%),并且仅仅稍微增加假阳性率(每个胸部图像为3.2个假阳性)。

    • A computerized method for the detection and characterization of disease in an image derived from a chest radiograph, wherein an image in the chest radiograph is processed to determine the ribcage boundary, including lung top edges, right and left ribcage edges, and right and left hemidiaphragm edges. Texture measures including RMS variations of pixel values within regions of interest are converted to relative exposures and corrected for system noise existing in the system used to produce the image. Texture and/or geometric pattern indices are produced. A histogram(s) of the produced index (indices) is produced and values of the histogram(s) are applied as inputs to a trained artificial neural network, which classifies the image as normal or abnormal. In one embodiment, obviously normal and obviously abnormal images are determined based on the ratio of abnormal regions of interest to the total number of regions of interest in a rule-based method, so that only difficult cases to diagnose are applied to the artificial neural network.
    • 一种用于检测和表征来自胸部X光照片的图像中的疾病的计算机化方法,其中处理胸部X光片中的图像以确定胸腔边界,包括肺顶缘,右和左胸廓边缘,以及右侧和左侧膈肌 边缘。 包括感兴趣区域内的像素值的RMS变化的纹理度量被转换为相对曝光并且对用于产生图像的系统中存在的系统噪声进行校正。 产生纹理和/或几何图案索引。 产生生成的索引(索引)的直方图,并将直方图的值作为输入被应用于训练的人造神经网络,其将图像分类为正常或异常。 在一个实施例中,基于基于规则的方法,基于感兴趣的异常区域与感兴趣区域总数的比率来确定明显的正常和明显异常的图像,使得仅将困难的诊断情况应用于人造神经网络 。

    • An automated method, and a computer storage medium storing instructions for executing the method, for analysis of image features in lung nodule detection in a chest radiographic image represented by digital data, including preprocessing the image to identify candidate nodules in the image; establishing a region of interest (ROI) including a candidate nodule identified in the preprocessing step; performing image enhancement of the candidate nodule within the ROI; obtaining a histogram of accumulated edge gradients as a function of radial angles withing the ROI after performing the image enhancement; and determining whether the candidate nodule is a false positive based on the obtained histogram. A 64.times.64-pixel region of interest (ROI) centered at the candidate location is used. The contrast of the ROI is improved by a two-dimensional background subtraction. A nodule shape matched filter is used for enhancement of the nodular pattern located in the central area of the ROI. Analysis of the histogram resulted in identification of seven features, including (1) a maximum histogram value, (2) a minimum histogram value, (3) a partial average value of the histogram, (4) a standard deviation of the histogram values near the radial axis, (5) a partial standard deviation of histogram values, (6) a width of the histogram including both sides from zero degrees of the radial angle, at a predetermined histogram value, and (7) a ratio of a maximum histogram value near the radial axis to a maximum histogram value in two predetermined outside ranges of the radial axis, useful for the identification and elimination of false positives.
