摘要
An automated method and system for discriminating between normal lungs and abnormal lungs having interstitial disease and/or septal lines, wherein a large number of adjacent regions of interest (ROIs) are selected, corresponding to an area on a digital image of a patient's lungs. The ROIs each contain a number of square or rectangular pixel arrays and are selected to sequentially fill in the total selected area of the lungs to be analyzed. A background trend is removed from each individual ROI and the ROIs are then analyzed to determine those exhibiting sharp edges, i.e., high edge gradients. A percentage of these sharp-edged ROIs are removed from the original sample based on the edge gradient analysis, a majority of which correspond to rib-edge containing ROIs. After removal of the sharp-edged ROIs, texture measurements are taken on the remaining sample in order to compare such data with predetermined data for normal and abnormal lungs. Thus, a computerized scheme for quantitative analysis of interstitial lung diseases and/or septal lines appearing in digitized chest radiographs can be implemented in practical clinical situations.
