Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chest X-ray images are widely used to detect many different lung diseases. However, reading chest X-ray images to accurately detect and classify different lung diseases by doctors is often difficult with large inter-reader variability. Thus, there is a huge demand for developing computer-aided automated schemes of chest X-ray images to help doctors more accurately and efficiently detect lung diseases depicting on chest X-ray images.
