Computer Aided Detection of Polyps in CT Colonography

CT colonography (CTC) is a minimally invasive method for detection of colorectal polyps and colon cancer. Limitations of CTC related to the efficiency as well as the sensitivity of radiologists. Additionally, the patient's preparation was considered burdensome and the X-ray radiation that is inherent to the technique increases the risk of cancer...

Curvature Lines for Lesion Detection and Visualization in CT Colonography

In this thesis, we present an automatic polyp detection approach that integrates knowledge from flow visualization techniques. Our primary goal was to compute additional characteristic polyp features that improve the CAD performance of existing polyp detection approaches by eliminating found false-positive polyp candidates. We found that surface...

Automated Detection of Polyps for CT Colonography

In this thesis several image processing techniques are proposed for the detection of colorectal polyps in images obtained by CT colonography.

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...
