Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose an anomaly detection based method to detect primary and metastatic lesions in the cervical and thoracic region on FDG-PET/CT by lesion enhancement using one-class SVM (OCSVM). The first step of the proposed method is the automatic extraction of bilateral lungs, cervical region, and the mediastinal region. Secondary, voxel abnormality is measured at each voxel in the extracted regions by organ-specific OCSVMs, that have been trained by normal voxel data previously. Next, lesion candidates are detected by the thresholding process for the voxel abnormalities. In the evaluation using clinical FDG-PET/CT, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparison of the lesion detection performances between the proposed method and our previous method using the Mahalanobis distance.
