Detection and Segmentation of Colonic Polyps on Implicit Isosurfaces by Second Principal Curvature Flow

Today’s computer aided detection systems for computed tomography colonography (CTC) enable automated detection and segmentation of colorectal polyps.We present a paradigm shift by proposing a method that measures the amount of protrudedness of a candidate object in a scale adaptive fashion. One of the main results is that the performance of the...

Computer-Aided Detection of Polyps in CT Colonography Using Logistic Regression

We present a computer-aided detection (CAD) system for computed tomography colonography that orders the polyps according to clinical relevance. TheCADsystem consists of two steps: candidate detection and supervised classification. The characteristics of the detection step lead to specific choices for the classification system. The candidates are...
