System, Method And Apparatus For Small Pulmonary Nodule Computer Aided Diagnosis From Computed Tomography Scans

View page
US Patent:
7660451, Feb 9, 2010
Filed:
Feb 29, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/074211
Inventors:
Anthony P. Reeves - Ithaca NY, US
David Yankelevitz - Brooklyn NY, US
Claudia Henshke - New York NY, US
Antoni Chan - Fort Worth TX, US
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
G06K 9/62
US Classification:
382131, 382215, 382216, 382217, 382291
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to diagnostic imaging of small pulmonary nodules. There are two main stages in the evaluation of pulmonary nodules from Computed Tomography (CT) scans: detection, in which the locations of possible nodules are identified, and characterization, in which a nodule is represented by measured features that may be used to evaluate the probability that the nodule is cancer. Currently, the most useful prediction feature is growth rate, which requires the comparison of size estimates from two CT scans recorded at different times. The present invention includes methods for detection and feature extraction for size characterization. The invention focuses the analysis of small pulmonary nodules that are less than 1 centimeter in size, but is also suitable for larger nodules as well.

US Patent:
7751607, Jul 6, 2010
Filed:
Nov 25, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/277877
Inventors:
Anthony P. Reeves - Ithaca NY, US
David Yankelevitz - Brooklyn NY, US
Claudia Henschke - New York NY, US
Antoni Chan - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382131, 382173, 382128
Abstract:
The present invention is a multi-stage detection algorithm using a successive nodule candidate refinement approach. The detection algorithm involves four major steps. First, the lung region is segmented from a whole lung CT scan. This is followed by a hypothesis generation stage in which nodule candidate locations are identified from the lung region. In the third stage, nodule candidate sub-images pass through a streaking artifact removal process. The nodule candidates are then successively refined using a sequence of filters of increasing complexity. A first filter uses attachment area information to remove vessels and large vessel bifurcation points from the nodule candidate list. A second filter removes small bifurcation points. The invention also improves the consistency of nodule segmentations. This invention uses rigid-body registration, histogram-matching, and a rule-based adjustment system to remove missegmented voxels between two segmentations of the same nodule at different times.
