Lung Nodule Detection using Patched Based Context Analysis Method with Support Vector Machine
Abstract –
Earlier Prediction of lung cancer is very
essential and crucial task in healthcare
industry. Lung Cancer is the leading cause of
death, so it is highly essential to detect and
predict it at initial stage. In medical world,
diagnostic imaging is an essential and
important tool for early detection of diseases.
Lung nodule, which leads to lung cancer
disease is predicted by image processing
techniques in the medical field which include
the Computerized Tomography CT images.
The novel classification method for four types
of lung nodules are well-circumscribed,
vascularized, juxtapleural and pleural-tail
respectively.
Introduction:
Lung cancer was uncommon at the
beginning of the 20th century, is now a
worldwide dilemma, which is more recurrent
cancer in the world. Lung cancer is a major
cause of cancer-related deaths in humans
worldwide. Lung nodules are small masses in
the human lung, and are usually spherical. At
present, the classification from Diciottiet is
the most popular approach and it divides
nodules into four types: well-circumscribed
(W), vascularized (V) juxta-pleural (J)and
pleural-tail (P).

Motivation:
In medical world, diagnostic imaging
is an invaluable and important tool for early
detection of diseases.To increase the survival
rate of cancerous patient, it is primarily to
detect at premature stage which enables many
new options for the cancer treatment without
risk. Thats why I motivate to do work in the
Biomedical image processing.
Objective:
The following are the objectives of my
research work:
i. To detect and segment the tumour area
from the lung LDCT Image.
ii. To classify lung nodule
iii. To detect whether the given tumour
leads to lung cancer or not
Proposed Methodology:
The Proposed system configures
about a novel image classification and
detection method for the four common types
of lung nodules. Nodule detection is an image
processing problem. The task is to find
positions (and shape) of specific pathological
structures in the lungs called nodules. A
nodule is a small, round lesion in the lungs, or
worm-shaped lesion connected to with radio
density greater than lung parenchyma.
Nodules in LDCT images show up relatively
low contrast white circular shape and it also
overlap with shadows, vessels and ribs.The
figure 1below shows the work flow of the
system.

Implementation & Results:
The experimental results are shown in
the figure. Fig. 2 shows the image pre-
processing steps. Fig. 3 shows the image
patch division step. Fig. 4 shows the FS3
feature descriptor table containing the
SIFT,HOG,MR8+LBP feature respectively.

cancer detected images. Fig. 5 Lung nodule types and lung cancer detection
Conclusion
The four main categories of lung
nodules are well-circumscribed, vascularized,
juxta-pleural, and pleural-tail where the
objects to be differentiated. Method had three
components: concentric level partition, feature

concentric level partition was constructed by
an improved quick shift superpixel
formulation. Then, a FS3 feature set including
Group No.
