Book III: Scientific and Research Applications in Medical Care: The Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Different Histological Types of Primary Bronchogenic Carcinoma from Radiologic Signs

摘要

On the basis of examining a number of resected specimens the gross types of the primary lung cancer were stated and the relationship between histologic types and gross types was studied. Futhermore the comparative study among X-ray films, resected specimens of tumor and pathologic examinations upon cases was made and some radiographic signs were extracted. After determining the gross types by radiologists using the sequential Bayes' model the computer-aided diagnosis was made. The accuracy of the computer diagnosis was significantly higher than that of film-reading by radiologistsb.
