Abstract

Computer Assisted Detection (CAD) is an important tool for use in areas where there is a shortage of skilled x-ray readers. South Africa is currently experiencing a Tuberculosis (TB) epidemic and does not have enough skilled x-ray readers to effectively assess all of the screening TB lung x-rays, especially in the mining sector. Thus, this work is intended to form part of a CAD TB system being developed by the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Autoregressive-Moving-Average (ARMA) is a technique for mathematically modeling a system. It has been used very effectively on ultrasound images (combined with k-means clustering) but has not been applied to x-ray images before.
