Title
Automatic Lung Lesion Detection and Segmentation in CT
Summary
In this project, we will develop an automatic lung lesion detection and segmentation method using machine learning. We will use the NLST datasets as training/testing sets for various object detectors (including deep learning) and modify the best candidate to achieve promising detection accuracy. After lung lesion detection, we will develop an method for accurate lesion volume segmentation using weakly/interactive supervised learning.
Aims
1. investigate methods for automatic lesion detection,
2. develop automatic lesion segmentation on the detected lesion regions,
3. evaluate our detection and segmentation models using the NLST datasets.
