    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium for computerized processing of chest images including obtaining a digital first image of a chest (S100); producing a second image which is a mirror image (S300) of the first image; performing image warping on one of the first and second images to produce a warped image (S400) which is registered to the other of the first and second images; and subtracting the warped image from the other image to generate a subtraction image (S600). Another embodiment includes obtaining a digital first image of the chest of a subject; detecting ribcage edges on both sides of the lungs in the first chest image; determining average horizontal locations of the left and right ribcage edges at plural vertical locations; fitting the determined average horizontal locations to a straight line to derive a midline; rotating the chest image so that the midline is vertical; and shifting the rotated image to produce a lateral inclination corrected (S200) second image with the midline centered in the lateral inclination corrected image.

    Abstract: Method and system for detection of interval change in medical images. Three-dimensional images, such as previous and current section images (10 and 11) in CT scans, are obtained. An anatomic feature, such as lungs, is used to select sections containing lung by a gray-level thresholding technique (13). The section correspondence between the current and previous scans is determined automatically. The initial registration of the corresponding sections in the two scans is achieved by a rotation correction (14) and a cross-correlation (15) technique. A more accurate registration between the corresponding current and previous section images is achieved by local matching (17). A nonlinear warping process (18) which is also based on the cross-correlation technique is applied to the previous image to yield a warped image after the matching. The final subtracted section images (19) were derived by subtracting of the previous section images from the corresponding current section images. Interval changes such as a change in tumor size and a newly developed pleural effusion are enhanced significantly.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for discrimination of nodules and false positive in digital chest radiographs, using a wavelet snake technique (1802; 1804; 1806; 1808). The wavelet snake is a deformable contour designed to identify the boundary of a relatively round object (1900). The shape of the snake is determined by a set of wavelet coefficient in a certain range of scales. Portions of the boundary of a nodule are first extracted using a multiscale edge representation. The multiscale edge are then fitted (2000; 1814) by a gradient descent procedure which deforms the shape of a wavelet snake by changing its wavelet coefficients. The degree of overlap between the fitted snake and the multiscale edges is calculated and used as a fit quality indicator for discrimination of nodules and false detection (1816; 1818; 1820).
