Tested on LIDC-IDRI dataset (https://wiki.cancerimagingarchive.net/display/Public/LIDC-IDRI)
- LIDC XML parsing
- Simple lung segmentation, nodule detection, and feature extraction algorithms
- Evaluation of nodule segmentation, detection, and characterization by LIDC XML annotations
written in Matlab by Wookjin Choi and Ji-Seok Yoon
