Analysis of CT DICOM Image Segmentation for Abnormality Detection

Abstract

The cancer is a menacing disease. More care is required while diagnosing cancer disease. Mostly CT modality is used for Cancer therapy. Image processing techniques [1] can help doctors to diagnose easily and more accurately. Image pre-processing [2], segmentation methods [3] are used in extraction of cancerous nodules from CT images. Many researches have been done on segmentation of CT images with different algorithms, but they failed to reach 100% accuracy. This research work, proposes a model for analysis of CT image segmentation with filtered and without filtered images. And brings out the importance of pre-processing of CT images.
