Abstract

The diagnostic accuracy for the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

(IIPs) has increased greatly because of the improvement in high-

resolution computed tomography (HRCT). However, the diagnosis of the

IIPs is a difficult problem for radiologists because it has a variety

of patterns. We tried to use a computerized analysis method for the

image features of HRCT for three high-incidence groups of IIPs;

idiopathic interstitial pneumonia/usual interstitial pneumonia

(IPF/UIP), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and cryptogenic

organizing pneumonia/bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia

(COP/BOOP). In CT images, each has characteristic manifestations:

honeycomb opacity, ground-glass opacity, and consolidation. We

analyzed them by using power spectrum analysis, and our system

achieved a correct classification rate of 81.6%.

I LOVE YOU THIS DAY
