  • Abstract
    We have developed a new recognition approach using 2nd order autocorrelation and multi-regression analysis to detect a small (<7mm in diameter) lung nodules in chest 3D CT images. By combining our previous detection method of the template matching based on genetic algorithm, the detection performance was 94% true-positive rate at 2.05 false-positive marks per case using leave-one-out study
