Computer-aided Classification of Interstitial Lung Diseases Via MDCT: 3D Adaptive Multiple Feature Method (3D AMFM)

We conclude that volumetric features including statistical features, histogram and fractal features can be successfully used in differentiation of parenchymal pathology associated with both emphysema and interstitial lung diseases. Additionally, support vector machine and Bayesian methods are comparable classifiers for characterization of interstitial lung diseases on MDCT images.
