A segmentation method for lung nodule image sequences based on superpixels and density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise.

The fast and accurate segmentation of lung nodule image sequences is the basis of subsequent processing and diagnostic analyses. However, previous research investigating nodule segmentation algorithms cannot entirely segment cavitary nodules, and the segmentation of juxta-vascular nodules is inaccur...
