摘要: In this paper an automatic computer-aided (CAD) method is utilized for lung segmentation using computed tomography (CT) images. We segmented regions — based on the CT data- with nodules attached to chest wall by level set modeling. This made up of 3 steps: first step, adaptive fuzzy thresholding operation used binarize images; in second non-isolated applying both modeling and convex hull algorithm. third shape features lobe, segmented. The experimental results show accuracy 98% our out performance other exiting methods.
