Research Abstract |
A custom-developed software can segment solid portion and ground-glass opacity (GGO) using the previously-reported threshold selection method for segmenting gray-level images, and can eliminate vessels on CT using 3-dimensionalmulti-scale line filter for segmentation and visualization of curvilinear structures such as vessels, resulting in calculating a rate of pure solid portion volume to whole tumor volume (%Solid) regardless of distribution of solid portions in nodule. Three-dimensional %Solid of adenocarcinomas is feasible for estimating prognosis. Nodule with %Solid>=63% significantly contributed to short overall and disease-free survival.
