Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Liver Tumors on Computed Tomography Images

Liver cancer is the tenth most common cancer and the fifth and ninth most common causes of cancer death in men and women, respectively, in the USA [1]. Many cancers have a high survival rate if detected and treated early [2]. Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most common and robust imaging techniques for the detection of liver tumors [3]. CT provides images of the whole liver through multiphase sequential scans after the injection of contrast media [4].
