Abstract: An essential stage in computer aided diagnosis of chest X rays is automated lung segmentation. Due to rib cages and the unique modalities of each persons lungs, it is essential to construct an effective automated lung segmentation model. This paper presents a reliable model for the segmentation of lungs in chest radiographs. Our model overcomes the challenges by learning to ignore unimportant areas in the source Chest Radiograph and emphasize important features for lung segmentation. We evaluate our model on public datasets, Montgomery and Shenzhen. The proposed model has a DICE coefficient of 98.1 percent which demonstrates the reliability of our model.
