Title: Automatic Pulmonary Embolism Detection System
Authors: Hao-Hung Tsai and Chiun-Li Chin and Yung-Chih Cheng
Abstract: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream. Most of the traditional PE detection methods need to depend on the professional physician’s judgment. Serious PE will lead to dead. Therefore, it is very important for diagnosis PE. In this paper, we develop an automatic pulmonary embolism detection system for relieving doctor’s load. It is divided into five parts- preprocessing, finding pulmonary, vessel searching, vessel tracking and evaluation. The experiment results show our system has 83% precision rate in main vessel detection and 82.6% precision rate in branch vessel detection. Finally, our system can relieve doctor’s load according to the result of questionnaire analysis.
