    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for detecting at least one nodule in a medical image of a subject, including identifying, in the medical image, an anatomical region corresponding to at least a portion of an organ of interest; filtering the medical image to obtain a difference image; detecting, in the difference image, a first plurality of nodule candidates within the anatomical region; calculating respective nodule feature values of the first plurality of nodule candidates based on pixel values of at least one of the medical image and the difference image; removing false positive nodule candidates from the first plurality of nodule candidates based on the respective nodule feature values to obtain a second plurality of nodule candidates; and determining the at least one nodule by classifying each of the second plurality of nodule candidates as a nodule or a non-nodule based on at least one of the pixel values and the respective nodule feature values. True-positive nodules are identified using linear discriminant analysis and/or a Multi-MTANN.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for determining existence of an abnormality in a medical image, including (1) obtaining volume image data corresponding to the medical image; (2) filtering the volume image data using an enhancement filter to produce a filtered image in which a predetermined pattern is enhanced; (3) detecting, in the filtered image, a first plurality of abnormality candidates using multiple gray-level thresholding; (4) grouping, based on size and local structures, the first plurality of abnormality candidates into a plurality of abnormality classes; (5) removing false positive candidates from each abnormality class based on class-specific image features to produce a second plurality of abnormality candidates; and (6) applying the at least one abnormality to a classifier and classifying each candidate in the second plurality of abnormality candidates as a false positive candidate or an abnormality.
