Lung Cancer Detection Using Image Processing PDF

This document discusses cancer detection using image fusion. It introduces that cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Image fusion involves aligning images from different modalities, like CT, MRI, and PET, to provide complementary information for clinical diagnosis and treatment. The proposed system involves preprocessing each image type, performing multiscale decomposition, feature extraction, image segmentation, and fusing the images. This allows for accurate early cancer detection by combining information on dense structures from CT, soft tissues from MRI, and blood flow from PET. The advantages of this approach include correct diagnosis, early detection to increase survival rates, high accuracy image quality and identification of tumors.

INTRODUCTION
Cancer is the leading cause of death in economically
developed countries and the second leading cause of death in
developing countries.The burden of cancer is increasing in
economically developing countries as a result of population
aging and growth as well as, increasingly, an adoption of
cancer-associated lifestyle choices including smoking, physical
inactivity, and westernized diets.The global burden of cancer
continues to increase largely because of the aging and growth
of the world population alongside an increasing adoption of
cancer-causing
behaviors,
particularly
smoking,
in
economically developing countries. Based on the GLOBOCAN
2015 estimates, about 12.7 million cancer cases and 7.6
million cancer deaths are estimated to have occurred in 2015;
of these, 56% of the cases and 64% of the deaths occurred in
the economically developing world.Lung cancer is the leading
cancer site in males, comprising 17% of the total new cancer
cases and 23% of the total cancer deaths.

ABSTRACT
Evaluating the feasibility of fusion of morphologic and
functional imaging modalities to facilitate treatment planning
and early detection of cancer. Aligning two or more images of
different sorts of the same patient is called image fusion. Each
imaging technique provides a different level of information.
For instance, CT (based on X-ray principle) is commonly used
for visualizing dense structures and is not suitable for soft
tissues and physiological analysis. MRI on the other hand
provides better visualization of soft tissues and is commonly
used for detection of tumors and other tissue abnormalities.
Likewise, information of blood flow in the body is provided by
PET (a nuclear imaging technique) but it suffers from low
resolution as compared to CT and MRI. Hence, fusion of
images obtained from different modalities is desirable to
extract sufficient information for clinical diagnosis and
treatment.

OPERATION OF PROPOSED
SYSTEM
CT image: CT (based on X-ray principle) is commonly used for
visualizing dense structures and is not suitable for soft tissues
and physiological analysis.
MR image: MRI on the other hand provides better visualization
of soft tissues and is commonly used for detection of tumors
and other tissue abnormalities.
PET image: Information of blood flow in the body is provided by
PET (a nuclear imaging technique) but it suffers from low
resolution as compared to CT and MRI.
Fused image: Fusing of CT,MR,PET images to obtain additional
relevant information for accurate early detection of cancer.
Enhancement :Enhancement technique is used to improve the
interpretability or perception of information in images for
human viewers, or to provide better input for other automated
image processing techniques.
Image segmentation :Image segmentation is the process of
partitioning a digital image into multiple segments. The result
of image segmentation is a set of segments that collectively
cover the entire image or a set of contours extracted from the
image .
Feature extraction :When the input data to an algorithm is too
large to be processed and it is suspected to be notoriously

ADVANTAGES
Correct Diagnosis and early detection of cancer
can increase the survival rate.
Image quality and accuracy for early detection.
Tumour is identified accurately from original
image.
High accuracy and robust operation.

CONCLUSION
An image improvement technique is developing for
earlier disease detection and treatment stages; the
time factor was taken in account to discover the
abnormality issues in target images. Image quality and
accuracy is the core factors of this research, image
quality assessment as well as enhancement stage
where were adopted on low pre-processing techniques
based on Gabor filter within Gaussian rules. The
proposed technique is efficient for segmentation
principles to be a region of interest foundation for
feature extraction obtaining. The proposed technique
gives very promising results comparing with other used
techniques. Relying on general features, a normality
comparison is made. The main detected features for
accurate images comparison are pixels percentage and
mask-labelling with high accuracy and robust
operation.
