Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) and lung cancer are major problems of the lung, and their occurrence as co-morbidities is dealt in many studies. World Health Organization (WHO) states that over 95% of deaths occur due to TB in low and middle income countries. This work presents a retrospective cohort study to derive the mathematical model characterizing the tissues like fibrosis, TB, and carcinoma. The cohort includes 113 normal cases, 103 fibrosis cases, 185 carcinoma cases, and 39 suspicious of tuberculosis cases. Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) is performed on Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM)- and Gray-Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM)-based features extracted from CT images for the characterization of lung tissues. MRA of these 18 numbers of GLCM and 44 numbers of GLRLM-based features gives R2 value of 0.8827 and 0.9456 with mean square error (MSE) of 0.01979 and 0.009852, respectively.
