Computer-aided Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism in Opacified CT Images (2007)
Abstract / truncated to 115 words
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an extremely common and highly lethal condition that is a leading cause of death in all age groups. Over the past 10 years, computed tomography (CT) scanners have gained acceptance as a minimally invasive method for diagnosing PE. In this manuscript, a framework for computer-aided diagnosis of PE in contrast-enhanced CT images is presented. It consists of a combination of a method for segmenting the pulmonary arteries (PA), emboli detection methods as well as a scheme for evaluating their performances. The segmentation of the PA serves one of the clot detection methods, and is carried out through a region growing method that makes use of a priori knowledge of vessel topology. ...
