摘要: Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) of lung cancer can act as a second opinion to diagnose cancer. In CAD, the preprocess- ing step is segment regions. Segmentation regions plays an important role speed up process detecting and analysis nodules. The proposed method, segments which have nodules at borders by using thresholding morphological operators. method removes walls increases size image visualize small algorithm was tested on LIDC (Lung Image Database Consortium) datasets. results were satisfactory segmenting with border correction.
