A method for diagnosing malignancy of suspect regions in a 2D imaging projection of a body organ of a subject comprising the steps of: normalizing the image projection to map regions thereof onto a standard shape; extracting location of regions mapped on the standard shape and using normalized position of a suspect region to assess likelihood that it is malignant.

Computer-aided diagnosis of malignancies of suspect regions and false positives in images

A method of detecting lung nodules in an anterior posterior x-ray radiograph comprising the steps of: generating candidate regions in image showing changes in contrast above a threshold level, and eliminating false positives by eliminating edges assignable to organs by: identifying edges; categorizing and eliminating rib edges; categorizing and eliminating lung tissue edges, and categorizing and eliminating blood vessels.

Identifying ribs in lung X-rays

An iterative method for segmentation of an object appearing in a digital image, where the object is defined by a difference in intensity from its immediate surrounding region. The method may also be used for segmenting tissue masses found in a digital image, including masses found in digital mammography.
