Figure 3

Examples of the deformed templates for GA template matching process: (a) solid spherical models consisting of three slices to detect large calcified and noncalcified nodules, (b) hollow spherical models consisting of three slices to detect thick cavity nodules, (c) circular models to detect small nodules, and (d) semicircular models to detect lung wall nodules.
