  • Divide-and-conquer method and system for the detection of lung nodule in radiological images
    Patent number: 6549646
    Abstract: A divide-and-conquer (DAC) method and system improve the detection of abnormalities, like lung nodules, in radiological images via the use of zone-based digital image processing and artificial neural networks. The DAC method and system divide the lung zone into different zones in order to enhance the efficiency in detection. Different image enhancement techniques are used for each different zone to enhance nodule images, as are different zone-specific techniques for selecting suspected abnormalities, extracting image features corresponding to selected abnormalities, and classifying the abnormalities as either true or false abnormalities.
