Journal ArticleDOI
Image feature analysis of false-positive diagnoses produced by automated detection of lung nodules.
Tsuneo Matsumoto,Hitoshi Yoshimura,Kunio Doi,Maryellen L. Giger,Akiko Kano,H. MacMahon,Katsumi Abe,Steven M. Montner +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that incorporating knowledge from experienced chest radiologists into the computer algorithm will play an important role in the development of computerized schemes for the detection of pulmonary nodules.
Patent
High quality film image correction and duplication method and system
Kunio Doi,Hitoshi Yoshimura +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system for correcting a non-linear characteristic of an image, wherein an input image is digitized to produce digital image data representative of the image and a histogram of the histogram is produced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computerized scheme for the detection of pulmonary nodules. A nonlinear filtering technique.
TL;DR: A computer-aided diagnosis system that locates areas suspicious for nodules in digital chest radiographs and describes nonlinear filters used in the difference-image approach for signal enhancement and signal suppression is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential Usefulness of Computerized Nodule Detection in Screening Programs for Lung Cancer
Tsuneo Matsumoto,Hitoshi Yoshimura,Maryellen L. Giger,Kunio Doi,Heber MacMahon,Steven M. Montner,Takashi Nakanishi +6 more
TL;DR: If the number of false-positive results can be significantly reduced, computer-vision schemes such as this may have a role in lung cancer screening programs.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Development of a smart workstation for use in mammography
Maryellen L. Giger,Robert M. Nishikawa,Kunio Doi,Fang-Fang Yin,Carl J. Vyborny,Robert A. Schmidt,Charles E. Metz,Chris Yuzheng Wu,Heber MacMahon,Hitoshi Yoshimura +9 more
TL;DR: The plan is to incorporate the developing computer-vision schemes for the detection of masses and microcalcifications in digital mammograms into a dedicated workstation for use as a 'second opinion' in a mammographic screening program.
