A Review of Intelligent Image Processing Method of Pulmonary CT Images

Due to the high degree of air pollution, high smoking rate and poor production protection conditions during the industrialization process, the incidence of pulmonary diseases such as pulmonary cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been maintained at a high level in the world and has shown an increasing trend, which has become one of the diseases with the highest mortality rate. In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the intelligent assisted diagnosis and surgery technology of pulmonary CT images has made great progress, and played an important role in the early diagnosis and precise treatment of pulmonary diseases. This paper mainly discusses the development history of image-assisted diagnosis and surgery technology for pulmonary diseases, as well as the method of segmentation and evaluation of pulmonary tissue and lesion, and the clinical application of pulmonary intelligent assisted diagnosis and surgery systems.
