Abstract

This paper presents an automated detection method to identify colonic polyps and reduce false positives (FPs) in CT images. It formulates the problem of polyp detection as a probability calculation through a unified Bayesian statistical model. The polyp likelihood is modeled with a combination of shape and intensity features. A second principal curvature PDE provides a shape model; and partial volume effect is considered into modeling the polyp intensity distribution. The performance of the method is evaluated on a large multi-center dataset of colonic CT scans. Both qualitative and quantitative experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed method.
