Projects

Lung Disease Detection Using Machine Learning in Medical Imaging Systems
As part of my undergraduate studies, I completed a graduation project titled “Lung Disease Detection Using Machine Learning in Medical Imaging Systems.” In this project, a Python-based system was developed to detect lung diseases from chest X-ray and CT scan images. The process involved applying image processing techniques for preprocessing and feature extraction, followed by the use of machine learning models for classification. The main goal was to enhance diagnostic accuracy through automated analysis of medical images, contributing to early disease detection and providing decision support in the healthcare field.
