Tapering Analysis of Airways with Bronchiectasis
Kin Quan, Rebecca J. Shipley, Ryutaro Tanno +6
Bronchiectasis is the permanent dilation of airways. Patients with the disease can suffer recurrent exacerbations, reducing their quality of life. The gold standard to diagnose and…
Evaluation of automated airway morphological quantification for assessing fibrosing lung disease
Ashkan Pakzad, Wing Keung Cheung, Kin Quan +21
Abnormal airway dilatation, termed traction bronchiectasis, is a typical feature of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Volumetric computed tomography (CT) imaging captures the lo…
Reproducibility of an airway tapering measurement in CT with application to bronchiectasis
Kin Quan, Ryutaro Tanno, Rebecca J. Shipley +4
Purpose: This paper proposes a pipeline to acquire a scalar tapering measurement from the carina to the most distal point of an individual airway visible on CT. We show the applica…
Modelling Airway Geometry as Stock Market Data using Bayesian Changepoint Detection
Kin Quan, Ryutaro Tanno, Michael Duong +7
Numerous lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), exhibit dilation of the airways. Accurate measurement of dilatation enables assessment of the progression of di…
