Abstract
The classification of diffuse lung opacities in thin-section computed tomography (HRCT) images is an important step of developing a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system. We have evaluated the performance of a Gabor filter-based classification of typical diffuse lung opacities in HRCT images. The experimental results show that the Gabor filter-based approach is an effective means of classifying diffuse lung diseases
