With the advent of fully automated image analysis and modern machine learning methods, there is a need for very large image datasets having documented segmentations for both computer algorithm training and evaluation. This paper presents a method and implementation for facilitating such datasets that addresses the critical issue of size scaling for algorithm validation and evaluation; current evaluation methods that are usually used in academic studies do not scale to large datasets. This method includes protocols for the documentation of many regions in very large image datasets; the documentation may be incrementally updated by new image data and by improved algorithm outcomes. This method has been used for 5 years in the context of chest health biomarkers from low-dose chest CT images that are now being used with increasing frequency in lung cancer screening practice. The lung scans are segmented into over 100 different anatomical regions, and the method has been applied to a dataset of over 20,000 chest CT images. Using this framework, the computer algorithms have been developed to achieve over 90% acceptable image segmentation on the complete dataset.read more

TL;DR: The ELCAP design, which provided evidence about screening in the context of a clinical program, was able to rapidly expand to a 12-institution study in New York State and to many international institutions (International-ELCAP), ultimately working with 82 institutions, all using the common I-EL CAP protocol.

A novel zero-watermarking scheme with enhanced distinguishability and robustness for volumetric medical imaging
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a novel multi-slice feature based zero-watermarking scheme with enhanced distinguishability and robustness for volumetric medical imaging, in which ring statistics are deployed to guarantee both the watermarking distinguishability, and an intra-slice variation based mechanism is designed to further enhance the watermarks distinguishability.

A framework for pulmonary fissure segmentation in 3D CT images using a directional derivative of plate filter
TL;DR: An anisotropic differential operator called directional derivative of plate (DDoP) filter is proposed to probe the presence of fissures objects in 3D space by modeling the profile of a fissure patch with three parallel plates to reduce the huge computation burden of dense matching with rotated DDoP kernels.
