Description:

Most of the lesions that grow in the liver and need to be found on a CT take are roundish, though especially in the case of malignant lesions the irregularity of the shape is also rather common. Classical Hough transform, however, which is one of the most used methods for finding circles, usually fails to find the contours of these objects, because of the larger or smaller irregularity of the shapes. Introducing a fuzzification in the edge filtered version of the image, which is usually the basis of a Hough transform, makes the Hough transform more flexible for using in liver CT image analysis.
