title: [Automated identification, interpretation and classification of focal changes in the lungs on the images obtained at computed tomography for lung cancer screening].
abstract: This review article analyzes data of literature devoted to the description, interpretation and classification of focal (nodal) changes in the lungs detected by computed tomography of the chest cavity. There are discussed possible criteria for determining the most likely of their character--primary and metastatic tumor processes, inflammation, scarring, and autoimmune changes, tuberculosis and others. Identification of the most characteristic, reliable and statistically significant evidences of a variety of pathological processes in the lungs including the use of modern computer-aided detection and diagnosis of sites will optimize the diagnostic measures and ensure processing of a large volume of medical data in a short time.
