TL;DR: A fusion scheme that obtained superior results is presented, demonstrating that there is complementary information provided by the different algorithms and there is still room for further improvements in airway segmentation algorithms.
Fully automatic quantitative assessment of emphysema in computed tomography: comparison with pulmonary function testing and normal values.
Claus Peter Heussel,F. J. F. Herth,F. J. F. Herth,J. Kappes,J. Kappes,R. Hantusch,S. Hartlieb,Oliver Weinheimer,Hans U. Kauczor,R. Eberhardt,R. Eberhardt +10 more
TL;DR: A relevant amount of COPD patients apparently do not suffer from emphysema, while controls who do not fulfil PFT criteria for COPD also demonstrate CT features of emphySEma.

Paired inspiratory/expiratory volumetric thin-slice CT scan for emphysema analysis: comparison of different quantitative evaluations and pulmonary function test.
Julia Zaporozhan,Sebastian Ley,Ralf Eberhardt,Oliver Weinheimer,Svitlana Iliyushenko,Felix J.F. Herth,Hans-Ulrich Kauczor +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the functional inspiratory/expiratory shifts of emphysema volume and clusters were quantified using an advanced dedicated semiautomatic analysis tool, using three-dimensional high-resolution CT scan data sets in inspiration and expiration for the quantitative evaluation of emphysma.

MDCT assessment of airway wall thickness in COPD patients using a new method: correlations with pulmonary function tests
T. Achenbach,Oliver Weinheimer,Alexander Biedermann,Sabine Schmitt,Daniela Freudenstein,Edula Goutham,Richard Peter Kunz,Roland Buhl,Christoph Dueber,Claus Peter Heussel +9 more
TL;DR: The wall thickness was significantly higher in smokers than in non-smokers and in COPD patients, and the wall thickness measured as a mean for a given patient correlated with the values of FEV1 andFEV1% predicted.

About Objective 3-D Analysis of Airway Geometry in Computerized Tomography
Oliver Weinheimer,T. Achenbach,C. Bletz,Christoph Düber,Hans-Ulrich Kauczor,Claus P. Heussel +5 more
TL;DR: An objective measuring method of the airway geometry in the 3-D space is described, which is approximated by an integral based closed-form solution, based on the volume conservation property of convolution.
