Nodule Detection in Postero Anterior Chest Radiographs

The use of image processing techniques and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems has proved to be effective for the improvement of radiologists' diagnosis, especially in the case of lung nodules detection. In this paper we describe a method for processing Postero Anterior chest radiographs which extracts a set of nodule candidate regions characterized by low cardinality and high sensitivity ratio.
