  • Achieved high mean overlap rates (85.7-88.3%) and acceptable mean absolute distances (3.9-4.8 mm).
  • Demonstrated accurate inclusion of all nodules within the segmented lung regions.
  • Reported mean Hausdorff distances ranging from 25.0 to 30.1 mm.

Conclusions:

  • The developed automated lung segmentation method demonstrates high accuracy.
  • This method is a valuable tool for computer-aided detection of lung nodules in digital tomosynthesis.
