Adhesion Pulmonary Nodules Detection Based on Dot-Filter and Extracting Centerline Algorithm

A suspected pulmonary nodule detection method was proposed based on dot-filter and extracting centerline algorithm. In this paper, we focus on the distinguishing adhesion pulmonary nodules attached to vessels in two-dimensional (2D) lung computed tomography (CT) images. Firstly, the dot-filter based...
