Abstract

Liver diseases are considered seriously because liver is a vital organ to human beings. Computer aided liver analysis is a technique that can help radiologists to accurately identify diseases that can help in reducing the risk of liver surgery. The computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system consists of the segmentation of liver and lesion, extraction of features from a lesion and characterization of liver diseases by means of a classifier. In the last decade, the use of many segmentation techniques and classifier systems have been proposed by many authors with the intention to increase the performance of CAD systems This article focuses on various textural analysis methods used so far for the classification of liver diseases from abdominal Computed Tomography scans. It reviews the techniques and results of the various methods are analyzed and summarized. The future direction for the research is also discussed
