Automated selective extraction of the lungs

Automated selective extraction of the lungs, trachea, and main bronchi from the CT scan volume was performed. High-density intraparenchymal structures excluded by the dynamic threshold-based lung extraction technique (including intraparenchymal blood vessels, fissures) were reincorporated in the calculations of final lung volumes based on the technique of “hole closing” to more accurately represent true lung volumes than simple threshold-based […]
