Automated lung segmentation and smoothing techniques for inclusion of juxtapleural nodules and pulmonary vessels on chest CT images
Fully automatic lung segmentation and smoothing techniques are proposed. The method can include juxtapleural nodules and pulmonary vessels properly. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our approach. The average processing time is over 20 times faster than manual segmentation.
