A three-dimensional model of the human airway tree.
A three-dimensional (3D) model of the human airway tree is proposed using a deterministic algorithm that can generate a branching duct system in an organ. The algorithm is based on two principles: 1) the amount of fluid delivery through a branch is proportional to the volume of the region it supplies; and 2) the terminal branches are arranged homogeneously within the organ. These principles def...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of pulmonary airway tree structures
A method for computationally efficient skeletonization of three-dimensional tubular structures is reported. The method is specifically targeting skeletonization of vascular and airway tree structures in medical images but it is general and applicable to many other skeletonization tasks. The developed approach builds on the following novel concepts and properties: fast curve-thinning algorithm t...
متن کاملThree-dimensional airway measurements and algorithms.
Advances in high-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging are making a full three-dimensional analysis of the lungs feasible. In particular, airway morphology can be studied in vivo and quantitative metrics of airway size and shape can be extracted. The thickening process associated with the inflammatory response in the diseased lung can be quantified by means of image processing techniques ...

متن کاملThree Dimensional Dct/idct Architecture
In this paper, the design and development of a new fully parallel architecture for the computation of the threedimensional discrete cosine transform (3D DCT) is presented. It can be used for the computation of either the forward or the inverse 3D DCT and is suitable for real-time processing of 2D or multi-view video codecs. The computation of the 3D DCT is carried out using the row-column-frame...
