    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).
