Neural networks for computer-aided diagnosis detection of lung nodules in chest radiograms.

Neural networks for computer-aided diagnosis detection of lung nodules in chest radiograms.

The paper describes a neural-network-based system for the computer aided detection of lung nodules in chest radiograms. Our approach is based on multiscale processing and artificial neural networks (ANNs). The problem of nodule detection is faced by using a two-stage architecture including: 1) an at...
