PI-PACS Chest CAD Decision Support System for Nodule Detection on Lung The PI-PACS Chest CAD assists you in finding, quantifying and reporting lesions on lung fields in digital chest X-ray images. Second eye Built in CAD system for Chest X-ray images is available in PI-PACS offering a real time second opinion assisting early detection. Advanced visualisation enables quick and convenient workflow at your workstation. Soft tissue analysing Missed lung cancer might be the consequence of anatomical structures (e.g. collarbone, rib) covering lung nodules on a chest X-Ray. Bone shadow eliminating algorithms make the lung tissue visible. Nodule detection Dens, circular shapes or blurred, infiltrated areas that can be the early sign of tumour or TB are marked. The identified lesions are segmented directing attention to suspicious areas. To find these symptoms as small as possible is crucial in early treatment. [email protected] www.innomed.hu

Detection of pulmonary nodules is certainly one of the most challenging tasks in chest imaging. Based solely on attenuation properties even small nodules might be visible on a digital chest X-ray. Nevertheless in practice, reliable detection of nodules is often not possible until they are at least 8mm in diameter. Even very experienced chest radiologists miss up to 30% of such lesions on conventional chest radiographs. The primary factor limiting detection of lung nodules and other similarly sized objects is their poor conspicuity in the presence of overlaying anatomical structures such as lung...
