Image Processing in Lung Cancer
Screening and Treatment
Wookjin Choi, PhD
Introduction
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths.
Most patients diagnosed with lung cancer already have advanced
disease
40% are stage IV and 30% are III
The current five-year survival rate is only 16%

Computer Aided Diagnosis
Once the lung nodules are detected and segmented from the
corresponding chest images
The next task is to determine whether the detected nodules
are malignant or benign
The malignancy of lung nodules correlates highly with
Geometrical size

Computer Aided Diagnosis
Typical computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for lung cancer. The input of a CAD system i
s the medical images obtained using an appropriate modality. A lung segmentation step is used
to reduce the search space for lung nodules. Nodule detection is used to identify the locations
of lung nodules. The detected nodules are segmented. Then, a candidate set of features, such a
s volume, shape, and/or appearance features, are extracted and used for diagnosis.

Radiotherapy and lung cancer
The efficacy and safety of RT reflect the interplay
between
• Total dose delivered to the malignant tumor
• The rate of dose delivery (daily fractionation)
• The volume (and type) of tumor-bearing organ irradiated.
• The intrinsic tolerance of the tissue irradiated
24
4D CT
Excellent for taking into account
respiratory motion
Takes a set of CT images and
sorts them to represent each
phase of the breathing cycle
Box with infrared reflectors on
abdomen, set up infrared camera
to capture movement
Why is 4D CT important?
Same slice in different
phases of the breathing
cycle showing tumor
movement
26
Is 4DCT Worthwhile?

thing pattern
• Determine a phase of the bre
athing cycle to treat during, p

• Monitor treatment with respi

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
 Modeled after brain radiosurgery principles
• Multiple convergent beams
• Rigid patient immobilization
• Precise localization via stereotactic coordinate system
• Single fraction treatment
• Size-restriction for target
29
Anatomic Tumor Response Assessment in CT or MRI
Imaging as Surrogate for
Survival or progression-free survival
Response rate, time to tumor progression
RECIST criteria based on longest diameter
Complete response (CR): disappear
Partial response (PR): ≥ 50% decrease
Stable disease (SD): others
Progressive disease (PD): ≥ 25% increase or new
Tumor size change does not occur or does not occur early in
some effective treatments
30
Metabolic Tumor Response Assessment in FDG-PET
Strong correlation between FDG uptake and cancer cell
number
Metabolic (functional) change may occur earlier and more
markedly than tumor size change
Qualitative evaluation plus semi-quantitative assessment
with SUV or SUL
31
Wahl, J Nucl Med. 50(Suppl 1): 122S–150S.
Large decline in SUL (-41%) despite stable pancreatic mass anatomically (a
rrows)  Partial metabolic response.
PET/CT for Tumor Response: An Example in Pancre
atic Tumor
32
Qualitative (Visual) PET Response Evaluation
Distribution and intensity of FDG uptake in tumor are
compared with uptake in normal tissues
Changes are visually evaluated
Requires clinical experience, disease patterns
Performs well in conversion of markedly positive PET scan to totally
negative scan
Moderate inter-observer variation
Difficult to detect small changes
33
Semi-Quantitative PET Response Assessment
SUV is most widely used
SUL is more consistent across patients
ROI selection
Maximal pixel: SUVmax, not as reproducible
Manual contour
Small fixed region ~1 cm3: SUVpeak
Fixed percentage isocontour: 40%, 50%
Fixed threshold: SUV = 2.5
3×SD above background (typically liver)
34
PERCIST Criteria
SULpeak of the hottest tumor
PERCIST criteria
CMR: normalize to background level
PMR: ≥ 30% decrease and ≥ 0.8 unit in SUL
SMR: others
PMD: ≥ 30% increase and ≥ 0.8 unit in SUL or visible increase in extent
of uptake (75% in TLG) with no decline in SUL, or new FDG-avid lesion

Tumor Segmentation
Tumor segmentation can be performed either manually by
physicians or (semi-)automatically using image analysis
tools.
The accuracy of a tumor segmentation method is often hard
to evaluate in patients due to the lack of ground truth.
In response evaluation that involves two or more serial image
studies
The reproducibility of a segmentation method is as important as its
accuracy

  • 19. Computer Aided Diagnosis Typical computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for lung cancer. The input of a CAD system i s the medical images obtained using an appropriate modality. A lung segmentation step is used to reduce the search space for lung nodules. Nodule detection is used to identify the locations of lung nodules. The detected nodules are segmented. Then, a candidate set of features, such a s volume, shape, and/or appearance features, are extracted and used for diagnosis. Ayman El-Baz, Garth M.
