Abstract

We propose a method for detection of rib shadows in chest radiographs that uses the knowledge of human anatomy of the thorax. Information present in the radiograph is then suitably extracted to enable the detection procedure. The method is simple but heuristic in nature and the implementation is quite fast. Details of the proposed method and the results are presented.
