Abstract

In this paper, a set of three features for aiding classification of lung nodule bearing candidates based upon morphological characteristics is proposed. Metrics were validated using Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique as classifier. Preliminary results indicate the efficiency of the adopted measurements, taking into account the sensitivity and specificity high rates obtained from the studied samplings.
