Radon transform processed neural network for lung X-ray image based diagnosis

A novel method for image diagnosis with artificial learning is presented-ray images tuberculosis patients is subjected to neural network learning for prediction of diagnosis. The X-ray images of lungs are normally difficult for diagnosis, since its similarity to lung cancer. Under and over diagnosis of lung X-ray images is a difficult medical problem to resolve. In the present work radon transform of the x-ray images is fed to back propagation neural network trained with Levenberg algorithm. The present methodology gives sharp results, distincting the normal and abnormal images.
