Segmentation of Juxtapleural Pulmonary Nodules Using a Robust Surface Estimate
An algorithm was developed to segment solid pulmonary nodules attached to the chest wall in computed tomography scans. The pleural surface was estimated and used to segment the nodule from the chest wall. To estimate the surface, a robust approach was used to identify points that lie on the pleural...
