Main Methods:
- Utilized a validity index for fuzzy clustering to achieve optimal 2D image segmentation.
- Implemented a fast fuzzy clustering algorithm (fast-FCM) to accelerate the segmentation process.
- Employed VTK software for visualizing four types of lung cancer tissues.
Main Results:
- Achieved optimal segmentation for individual 2D x-ray image sections.
- Significantly improved time resolution of the 3D reconstruction process.
- Successfully visualized adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
Conclusions:
