Automated segmentation and morphometric analysis of the human airway tree from multidetector CT images.
Remarkable advances in computed tomography (CT) technology geared our research toward investigating the integrative function of the lung and the development of a database of the airway tree incorporating anatomical and functional data with computational models. As part of this project, we are developing the algorithm to construct an anatomically realistic geometric model of airways from CT imag...
متن کاملIntrathoracic Airway Tree Segmentation from CT Images Using a Fuzzy Connectivity Method
Introduction: Virtual bronchoscopy is a reliable and efficient diagnostic method for primary symptoms of lung cancer. The segmentation of airways from CT images is a critical step for numerous virtual bronchoscopy applications. Materials and Methods: To overcome the limitations of the fuzzy connectedness method, the proposed technique, called fuzzy connectivity - fuzzy C-mean (FC-FCM), utilized...

متن کاملAutomated liver segmentation using multislice CT images
With practical applications of multislice CT, highspeed imaging has drastically become possible in recent years as compared with the past and imaging the liver twice during the time a patient holds his breath once has become possible in liver CT imaging using contrast media. Thus, three-dimensional images of two time phases differing in the circulatory state of a contrast medium are obtainable ...
متن کاملPulmonary Vascular Tree Segmentation from Contrast-Enhanced CT Images
We present a pulmonary vessel segmentation algorithm, which is fast, fully automatic and robust. It uses a coarse segmentation of the airway tree and a left and right lung labeled volume to restrict a vessel enhancement filter, based on an offset medialness function, to the lungs. We show the application of our algorithm on contrast-enhanced CT images, where we derive a clinical parameter to de...
