Feature Detection and Computer-aided Diagnosis with Longitudinal Tracking of Benign Asbestos-Related Pleural Disease in CT images. This project seeks to develop smart and novel feature extraction and knowledge acquisition techniques to assist radiologists in automated diagnosis and assessment of lung diseases. These outcomes will lead to improved delivery of health services in Australia, including in rural regions.

This project seeks to develop smart and novel feature extraction and knowledge acquisition techniques to assist radiologists in automated diagnosis and assessment of lung diseases. These outcomes will lead to improved delivery of health services in Australia, including in rural regions. They will lead to more accurate assessment of asbestos related pleural diseases for compensation and treatment and better followup, leading to earlier treatment and better quality of life for patients suffering from lung diseases. The project will also save costs due to automated assessment as well as the potential for fewer patient scans.Read moreRead less
