Includes bibliographical references. This project proposed to implement a bony structure suppression tool and analyse its effects on a texture-based classification algorithm in order to assist in the analysis of chest X-ray images. The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) often includes the evaluation of chest X-ray images, and the reliability of image interpretation depends upon the experience of the radiologist. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) may be used to increase the accuracy of diagnosis. Overlapping structures in chest X-ray images hinder the ability of lung texture analysis for CAD to detect abnormalities. This dissertation examines whether the performance of texturebased CAD tools may be improved by the suppression of bony structures, particularly of the ribs, in the chest region. 2015-01-10T13:35:16Z 2015-01-10T13:35:16Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11993 eng application/pdf Division of Biomedical Engineering Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
