Investigation of four-dimensional computed tomography-based pulmonary ventilation imaging in patients with emphysematous lung regions
Tokihiro Yamamoto,Sven Kabus,Tobias Klinder,Cristian Lorenz,Jens von Berg,Thomas Blaffert,Billy W. Loo,Paul J. Keall +7 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated the strong correlation between the H U-based 4D-CT ventilation and emphysema, which indicates the potential for HU-based 5D- CT ventilation imaging to achieve high physiologic accuracy.

Computer-assisted multicomponent spectral analysis with fuzzy data sets
TL;DR: A computer program CIF (Compound Identification with Fuzzy sets) is applied, capable of finding components in a mixture by comparing the sample spectrum with reference spectra in a library.

Unsupervised extraction of the pulmonary interlobar fissures from high resolution thoracic CT data
Rafael Wiemker,Thomas Bülow,Thomas Blaffert +2 more
- 01 May 2005
TL;DR: Two possible 3D filter approaches are suggested, which give high filter responses for the fissures and allow subsequent segmentation of the lung lobes and the computational cost is slightly lower.

Expert systems for chemical-analysis (esprit project 1570)
D. P. Goulder,Thomas Blaffert,A. Blokland,L.M.C. Buydens,A. Chhabra,A. Cleland,N. Dunand,H. Hindriks,Gerrit Kateman,H. Vanleeuwen,Desire Massart,M. Mulholland,G. Musch,Pamela J. Naish,A. Peeters,Geert Postma,Peter J. Schoenmakers,M. Desmet,Bernard M.g. Vandeginste,Jan Vink +19 more
TL;DR: An overview of the structure and processes going on in the project Expert Systems for Chemical Analysis (ESCA), an international project within the ESPRIT research programme of the European Community is given.

Automated assessment of bronchial lumen, wall thickness and bronchoarterial diameter ratio of the tracheobronchial tree using high-resolution CT
Rafael Wiemker,Thomas Blaffert,Thomas Bülow,Steffen Renisch,Cristian Lorenz +4 more
- 01 Jun 2004
TL;DR: The technical feasibility of unsupervised extraction of the whole tracheobronchial tree with automatic quantification of the clinical parameters at all points along the bronchial centerlines is shown.
