Abstract EN
Computer-aided detection systems aim at the automatic detection of diseases using different medical imaging modalities.
In this paper, a novel approach to detecting normality/pathology in digital chest radiographs is proposed.
The problem tackled is complicated since it is not focused on particular diseases but anything that differs from what is considered as normality.
First, the areas of interest of the chest are found using template matching on the images.
Then, a texture descriptor called local binary patterns (LBP) is computed for those areas.
After that, LBP histograms are applied in a classifier algorithm, which produces the final normality/pathology decision.
Our experimental results show the feasibility of the proposal, with success rates above 87% in the best cases.
Moreover, our technique is able to locate the possible areas of pathology in nonnormal radiographs.
Strengths and limitations of the proposed approach are described in the Conclusions.
