DETECTION OF BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMAUSING X-RAY IMAGE

electronics and communication engineering

The bronchogenic carcinoma serves as the leading cause of death among all the other types of cancer. It affects not only a particular age group but almost all age group persons. The lung tumor detection method is mainly used to detect the presence of the exact location of the tumor and to calculate the area of the tumor. Here the x-ray image is used to detect the presence of the tumor. The X-ray image is chosen as input because of its ability to radiate at low levels without causing any harm to the human body. X-ray is the most reliable and safe image processing technique available in the medical field. Here the segmentation and enhancement methods are carried out using FCM and adapthisteq algorithm. These techniques play a major role in the detection of any foreign material like tumor cell in the body. These methods are used to obtain the high accurate result, which provides the exact location and area of tumor, with the least error possible. The location of the tumor and its area is calculated so that the lung cancer can be detected and cured in its early stage itself. Generally the CT is used for tumor detection but here the x-ray image is preferred because of its low radiating capacity. Here the x-ray image is chosen such that it can undergo many image processing techniques.
