Wavelet-based pulmonary nodules features characterization on computed tomography (CT) scans. - 307 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Catholic University of America, 2008.

One of the fundamental issues in medical image processing is the texture characterization of intrinsic structures; specifically feature generation, extraction and classification with regard to discrimination between normal and abnormal tissue characteristics. This thesis is concerned with the analysis and classification of benign and malignant lung nodules extracted from computed tomography (CT) scans, where the pixel intensity and structure of the nodule texture are not clearly determinable, hence signal processing and statistical approaches are appropriate. We investigate the advantages of multi-scale/multi-resolution signal processing methods namely discrete wavelet transform (DWT), higher order statistical methods, computationally low complexity segmentation method and the visualization tool called "Heat Maps". Consequently these advantages are combined to form novel approach to lung nodules tissue characterization.

520 $a One of the fundamental issues in medical image processing is the texture characterization of intrinsic structures; specifically feature generation, extraction and classification with regard to discrimination between normal and abnormal tissue characteristics. This thesis is concerned with the analysis and classification of benign and malignant lung nodules extracted from computed tomography (CT) scans, where the pixel intensity and structure of the nodule texture are not clearly determinable, hence signal processing and statistical approaches are appropriate. We investigate the advantages of multi-scale/multi-resolution signal processing methods namely discrete wavelet transform (DWT), higher order statistical methods, computationally low complexity segmentation method and the visualization tool called "Heat Maps". Consequently these advantages are combined to form novel approach to lung nodules tissue characterization.
520 $a We developed practical aspects, based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) theoretical background, for the feature generation for characterization of benign and malignant lung nodules signal, where wavelets coefficients and decomposition properties are integrated into set of features to increase the discrimination power and, consequently classification performance. Furthermore, to overcome practical difficulties of traditional segmentation approaches that require separation of a very small object from a background, we introduced squared windows for the segmentation purposes within the novelty of the lung nodule characterization framework. This demands only fast algorithm to extract the nodule. The "Heat Maps", in turn, have the ability to identify and visualize a heterogeneity/homogeneity between nodules and nodule clusters thus, to provide useful information for radiologists for further investigation to understand why some of benign nodules look like malignant ones.
520 $a The proposed scheme is compared to higher order statistical methods commonly used for texture characterization, with a use of the same original image dataset from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The results are then analyzed in order to evaluate lung nodules classification performance based upon accuracy, computational complexity, robustness to noise, and discriminative power of selected features with the "Heat Maps" visualization tool.
