Description
The present article reports our research that was performed in a research project supported by a Grantin-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Area from the Ministry of Education, Culture Sports, Science and Technology, JAPAN, from 2003 to 2006. Our method developed in the research acquired the trend of variation of spatial relations between true diseases, false positives and image features through statistical analysis of a set of medical images and improved the accuracy of disease detection by predicting their occurrence positions in an image based on the trend. This article describes the formulation of the method in general form and shows the results obtained by applying the method to chest X-ray CT images for detection of pulmonary nodules. (author)
