Segmentação das áreas pulmonares em radiografias torácicas digitais
Abstract
Radiography has become an indispensable tool to aid medical diagnosis. Although other techniques are available, radiographs are accessible, fastly acquired and used on a large scale. This work presents an automatic method for lung regions segmentation in chest X-ray and utilizes simple image processing techniques. The developed ground truths are publicly available; results compared to previous reports, and usable in computer-aided diagnosis systems.
