Figure 11. Top: Example of a true nodule attached to the lung wall. Bottom: Sketch of such a nodule to illustrate the segmentation algorithm; left: start point is set, not necessarily at the centre of the mass; right: the areas that are iteratively added to the region expansion, growing first into lobular areas, but then eventually also into the lung wall and connected vessels. The final cut-off surface is denoted by a solid black line.
