Abstract

Ground-glass opacity nodules(GGNs) in chest CT images are associated with lung cancer, and have a different malignant rate depending on existence of solid component in the nodules. In this paper, we propose a method to classify pure GGNs and part-solid GGNs using multiview images and texture analysis in pulmonary GGNs with solid components of 5mm or smaller. We extracted 1521 features from the GGNs segmented from the chest CT images and classified the GGNs using a SVM classification model with selected features that classify pure GGNs and part-solid GGNs through a feature selection method. Our method showed 85% accuracy using the SVM classifier with the top 10 features selected in the multiview images.
