Lung cancer seems to be the common cause of death among people throughout the world.Early detection of lung cancer can increase the chance of survival among people.The overall 5-year survival rate for lung cancer patients increases from 14 to 49% if the disease is detected in time.Although Computed Tomography (CT) can be more efficient than X-ray.However, problem seemed to merge due to time constraint in detecting the present of lung cancer regarding on the several diagnosing method used.Hence, a lung cancer detection system using image processing is used to classify the present of lung cancer in a CT-images.In this study, MATLAB have been used through every procedures made.In image processing procedures, process such as image pre-processing, segmentation and feature extraction have been discussed in detail.We are aiming to get the more accurate results by using various enhancement and segmentation techniques.
