Abstract

Diagnostic imaging has contributed significantly to patient care, especially the use of computed tomography images, which allow the internal visualization of the body with high anatomical detail. To assist the physician in the analysis of these images, different computational solutions are found. However, it is common for each tool to perform the extraction of a specific characteristic. In this sense, the project described in this paper proposes building a tool to extract different characteristics in an integrated way, giving the doctor the support of algorithms with different purposes from the same exam. To do so, the Software Product Lines approach is adopted.
