The detection of pulmonary nodules on computed tomography scans provides a clue for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Manual detection mandates a heavy radiological workload as it identifies nodules slice-by-slice. This paper presents a fully automated nodule detection with three significant contributions. First, an automated seeded region growing is designed to segment the lung regions from the tomography scans. Second, a three-dimensional chain code algorithm is implemented to refine the border of the segmented lungs. Lastly, nodules inside the lungs are detected using an optimized random forest classifier. The experiments for our proposed detection are conducted using 888 scans from a public dataset, and achieves a favorable result of 93.11% accuracy, 94.86% sensitivity, and 91.37% specificity, with only 0.0863 false positives per exam.

En este artículo de investigación científica se da a conocer a la comunidad interesada en el procesamiento digital de imágenes, una aplicación inédita de la transformada de Radon para segmentar imágenes en escala de grises, lo que permite la identificación y clasificación de regiones u objetos, misma que puede extenderse a imágenes en color. Los resultados obtenidos se compararon con los resultados de dos algoritmos clásicos de segmentación: el algoritmo de umbralización Otsu optimizado, y el algoritmo de crecimiento de regiones Seeded Region Growing.
