Abstract

In real medical applications, proper measurement of cancer disease area is very important, particularly so, if we want to compare the disease region between pre-treatment and post-treatment CT images for the same patient. The segmentation of a specific region can be defined as the grouping of image pixels corresponding to specific features. Several supervised approaches are there to solve the region segmentation problem. In our problem, we want to find the cancer area from the pre-treatment and post-treatment CT images which are in the state of raw medical data. In this study, we are using the SVM to measure the cancer area from the raw images where new features are taken into the study including neighboring pixels’ influence. Finally, our proposed approach is compared with the state-of-the-art methods which subsequently proves that our method performs more efficiently than other concerned procedures.
