The Individual

DIn this paper, we propose a fast and accurate semiautomatic method to effectively distinguish individual teeth from the sockets of teeth in dental CT images. Parameter values of thresholding and shapes of the teeth are propagated to the neighboring slice, based on the separated teeth from reference images. After the propagation of threshold values and shapes of the teeth, the histogram of the current slice was analyzed. The individual teeth are automatically separated and segmented by using seeded region growing. Then, the newly generated separation information is iteratively propagated to the neighboring slice. Our method was validated by ten sets of dental CT scans, and the results were compared with the manually segmented result and conventional methods. The average error of absolute value of volume measurement was2.29±0.56%, which was more accurate than conventional methods. Boosting up the speed with the multicore processors was shown to be 2.4 times faster than a single core processor. The proposed method identified the individual teeth accurately, demonstrating that it can give dentists substantial assistance during dental surgery.

Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer

The detection of pulmonary nodules on computed tomography scans provides a clue for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Manual detection mandates a heavy radiological workload as it identifies nodules slice-by-slice. This paper presents a fully automated nodule detection with three significant contributions. First, an automated seeded region growing is designed to segment the lung regions from the tomography scans. Second, a three-dimensional chain code algorithm is implemented to refine the border of the segmented lungs. Lastly, nodules inside the lungs are detected using an optimized random forest classifier. The experiments for our proposed detection are conducted using 888 scans from a public dataset, and achieves a favorable result of 93.11% accuracy, 94.86% sensitivity, and 91.37% specificity, with only 0.0863 false positives per exam.

The major reasons for liver carcinoma are cirrhosis and hepatitis.  In order to  identify carcinoma in the liver abdominal CT images are used. From abdominal CT images, segmentation of liver portion using adaptive region growing, tumor segmentation from extracted liver using Simple Linear Iterative Clustering is already implemented. In this paper, classification of tumors as benign or malignant is accomplished using Rough-set classifier based on texture feature extracted using Average Correction Higher Order Local Autocorrelation Coefficients and Legendre moments. Classification accuracy achieved in proposed scheme is 90%. The results obtained are promising and have been compared with existing methods.

En este artículo de investigación científica se da a conocer a la comunidad interesada en el procesamiento digital de imágenes, una aplicación inédita de la transformada de Radon para segmentar imágenes en escala de grises, lo que permite la identificación y clasificación de regiones u objetos, misma que puede extenderse a imágenes en color. Los resultados obtenidos se compararon con los resultados de dos algoritmos clásicos de segmentación: el algoritmo de umbralización Otsu optimizado, y el algoritmo de crecimiento de regiones Seeded Region Growing.
