Automatic detection of solitary lung nodules using quality threshold clustering, genetic algorithm and diversity index
Conclusion: Lung cancer presents the highest mortality rate in addition to one of the smallest survival rates after diagnosis. An early diagnosis considerably increases the survival chance of patients. The methodology proposed herein contributes to this diagnosis by being a useful tool for specialists who are attempting to detect nodules.
