Abstract

Model-based detection and classification of nodules are two major steps in CAD systems design and evaluation. A common health problem, lung diseases are the most prevailing medical conditions throughout the world. In this paper, Lung diseases are automatically classified as Emphysema, Bronchitis, Pleural effusion and normal lung.The lung CT images are taken as input, preprocessing is applied, feature extraction is done by various methods such as Gabor filter extracts the texture features, walsh hadamard transform extracts the pixel co-efficient values, and a fusion method is proposed in this work which extracts the median absolute deviation values. Feature selection including statistical correlation based methods and Genetic Algorithm for searching in feature vector space are investigated. Four types of the classifiers are used where the Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP-NN) classifier with proposed fusion feature extraction method, genetic algorithm feature selection method gives promising result of 91% accuracy than J48, K- Nearest Neighbour and Naïve bayes classifiers.

The journal is currently an open access journal.

The articles receive both rigorous peer-review and expedited online publication.

The journal encourages young researchers to submit their unpublished papers.

The authors retain their article’s copyright.

The authors retain publishing rights without restrictions.

Thus, authors may use their own articles for the following non-commercial purposes without asking our permission (and subject only to acknowledging first publication in Journal of Communications Technology, Electronics and Computer Science and giving a full reference or web link, as appropriate).

Authors cannot submit a manuscript for publication to other journals simultaneously. It is a waste of valuable resources because editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscripts. It is also unethical to republish similar research articles (text/figures/tables) again because journals have limited page space and it most likely violates copyrights which have already been transferred to the first journal. Therefore, all journals require a signed author's copyright transfer agreement stating the originality of the research work submitted through a manuscript. As stated above that authors should submit original, new and unpublished research work to the journal. The ethical issues such as plagiarism, fraudulent and duplicate publication, violation of copyrights, authorship and conflict of interest are serious issues concerning ethical integrity when submitting a manuscript to a journal for publication.

The contents of papers are the sole responsibility of the authors, and publication shall not imply the concurrence of the Editors or Publisher.
