Summary
This study developed a novel system for detecting stomach cancer using computed tomography (CT) images. The system accurately localizes cancerous regions, achieving an 83.3% success rate with advanced image processing techniques.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Computer-Aided Diagnosis
- Oncology
Background:
- Gastric cancer detection remains a critical challenge in medical diagnostics.
- Accurate localization of cancerous regions in stomach computed tomography (CT) images is essential for effective treatment planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a novel system for localizing cancerous regions in stomach CT images.
- To determine the coordinates of gastric cancer spread within the color space.
- To achieve high-accuracy delimitation of cancerous areas for user feedback.
Main Methods:
- Integration of energy mapping, analysis methods, and multiple image processing techniques.
- Application of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Log transformations in various combinations.
- Analysis of energy distribution and DC energy intensity.
Main Results:
- A non-invasive method for gastric cancer detection was achieved using unique system algorithms.
- The highest success rate of 83.3119% was obtained when FFT and Log transformations were used together.
- The system demonstrated accurate localization and delimitation of cancerous regions.
Conclusions:
- The developed system offers a promising non-invasive approach for gastric cancer detection.
- Combining FFT and Log transformations significantly enhances the accuracy of cancer localization.
- The system's advanced algorithms provide valuable feedback for clinical applications.
