SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR THREE DIMENSIONAL VISUALIZATION OF LUNG ON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SCANS USING ACTIVE SHAPE MODEL AND VOLUME RENDERING
S.Fis Agus Widodo · 2014
Lungs are respiratory apparatus in humans and some animals. Lung specialists and radiologists usually only see image of Computer Tomography Scans (CT Scans) with naked eye to detect abnormalities of lungs. This procedure is considered to be ineffective. Purpose of this research is to develop applications for 3-D visualization of lungs on CT Scans. This study is divided into two steps. The first is lung segmentation using active shape model (ASM). Second is a 3-D visualization of lung using volume rendering. Results of our study show that segmentation approach with an Active Shape Model has accuracy 96.8%, sensitivity 88.2% and specificity 99.1%.
