    Lung Parenchyma Segmentation From Ct Images With a Fully Automatic Method
    (Springer, 2023) Mousavi Moghaddam, Reza; Aghazadeh, Nasser
    For the last three years, the world has been facing an infectious disease that primarily affects the human breathing organ. The disease has caused many deaths worldwide so far and has imposed high economic costs on all countries. Therefore, attention to computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) systems to help diagnose and treat diseases related to the human respiratory system should be given more attention so that countries’ health systems can treat patients in epidemics. Considering the importance of CAD systems, we proposed a two-step automatic algorithm. In the first step, we obtain the primary boundary of the lobes in CT lung scan images with the help of some conventional image processing tools. In the second stage, we obtained a more precise boundary of the lung lobes by correcting the unusual dimples and valleys (which are sometimes caused by the presence of juxtapleural nodules). This proposed method has low implementation time. Given that a precise boundary of the pulmonary lobes is essential in the more accurate diagnosis of lung-related diseases, an attempt has been made to ensure that the final segmentation of the lung parenchyma has an acceptable score in terms of evaluation criteria so that the proposed algorithm can be used in the diagnosis procedure. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    A Numerical Method Based on Legendre Wavelet and Quasilinearization Technique for Fractional Lane-Emden Type Equations
    (Springer, 2023) İdiz, Fatih; Tanoğlu, Gamze; Aghazadeh, Nasser
    In this research, we study the numerical solution of fractional Lane-Emden type equations, which emerge mainly in astrophysics applications. We propose a numerical approach making use of Legendre wavelets and the quasilinearization technique. The nonlinear term in fractional Lane-Emden type equations is iteratively linearized using the quasilinearization technique. The linearized equations are then solved using the Legendre wavelet collocation method. The proposed method is quite effective to overcome the singularity in fractional Lane-Emden type equations. Convergence and error analysis of the proposed method are given. We solve some test problems to compare the effectiveness of the proposed method with some other numerical methods in the literature.
