  • Title: [An automatic method segmenting lung regions from digital chest radiograph].
    Author: Cao X, Jiang D, Zheng C.
    Journal: Sheng Wu Yi Xue Gong Cheng Xue Za Zhi; 1998 Dec; 15(4):393-6. PubMed ID: 12552787.
    Abstract:
    It is difficult to process digital chest image with ordinary method because of the wide dynamic range of chest radiograph. Anatomically adaptive processing is a better method for chest image, but it needs automatic segmentation of the image. In this paper, an effective method for segmenting lung regions from digital chest radiograph is presented. This method automatically calculates the lung/mediastinum-subdiaphragmatic threshold according to the histogram of chest image processed.
