Application of supervised range-constrained thresholding to extract lung pleura for automated detection of pleural thickenings from thoracic CT images
K Chaisaowong, A Knepper, T Kraus… - Medical Imaging 2007 …, 2007 - spiedigitallibrary.org
We develop an image analysis system to automatically detect pleural thickenings and
assess their characteristic values from patients' thoracic spiral CT images. Algorithms are
described to carry out the segmentation of pleural contours and to find the pleural
thickenings. The method of thresholding was selected as the technique to separate lung's
tissue from other. Instead thresholding based only on empirical considerations, the so-
called" supervised range-constrained thresholding" is applied. The automatic detection of …
