Abstract The purpose of this work is to develop detection System for detecting and precisely quantifying abnormal nodule of lung. The aim of this study is to develop a new quantitative image feature analysis scheme. We developed a computer-aided detection scheme to segment lung tumors and computed tumour-related image features.
