Abstract
We investigated the possibility of using computer analysis of high-resolution CT images to radiologically classify the shape of pulmonary nodules. Using a combination of circularity and second moment as quantitative measures we were able to classify pulmonary nodules in each shape group as effectively as could a radiologist. We found that pulmonary nodules with circularity < or =0.75 and second moment < or =0.18 were very likely to reveal lung cancer.Entities:
