Pulmonary fissure segmentation on CT
A pulmonary fissure is a boundary between the lobes in the lungs. Its segmentation is of clinical interest as it facilitates the assessment of lung disease on a lobar level. This paper describes a new approach for segmenting the major fissures in both lungs on thin-section computed tomography (CT). An image transformation called "ridge map" is proposed for enhancing the appearance of fissures o...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
evaluating diagnostic role of high resolution computerized tomography in active pulmonary tuberculosis
introduction: pulmonary tuberculosis (tb) is one of the main infectious diseases in developing countries. the early diagnosis of tb is important for reducing its mortality & morbidity. therefore this study was conducted to evaluate diagnostic role of high resolution computerized tomography (hrct) in active pulmonary tb . materials and methods: in a clinical trial study 114 suspicious patients (...
متن کاملPulmonary Fissure Integrity and Collateral Ventilation in COPD Patients
PURPOSE To investigate whether the integrity (completeness) of pulmonary fissures affects pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A dataset consisting of 573 CT exams acquired on different subjects was collected from a COPD study. According to the global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD) criteria, these subje...
متن کاملIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: spectrum of high-resolution CT findings.
OBJECTIVE Characteristic high-resolution CT (HRCT) findings of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) include reticulation, architectural distortion, and honeycombing involving mainly the lung periphery and the lower lobes. In 50% of IPF patients, HRCT is nonspecific. This article illustrates the HRCT findings of IPF correlating with the pathology. CONCLUSION The spectrum of HRCT manifestations ...
