Abstract |
Texture is an important property of the image. Texture analysis techniques play a vital role in medical imaging to automatically extract parameters that are used to classify the normal and abnormal tissues. Lung cancer is a terminal disease that primarily affects the lungs. However, lung cancer can spread to other tissues and organs through the lymph nodes or the blood stream if not detected early and treated. There are several diagnostic methods of imaging technology that are used by radiologists in the detection of lung cancer, and most lung cancer is detected by routine chest X-rays for other issues before any signs or symptoms of lung cancer arise. Image analysis based on texture feature of an image is still a complex and challenging problem, and hence texture feature based technique is the approach which has been selected for analysis of medical images. Here an analysis is done on lung nodules using texture analysis in various medical images. Mostly this paper concentrates on Chest X-rays images and CT scan images of lung. |
