Calculating air volume fractions from computed tomography images for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease diagnosis.

Quantitative evaluation using image biomarkers calculated from threshold-segmented low-attenuation areas on chest computed tomography (CT) images for diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) has been widely investigated. However, the segmentation results depend on the applied thresho...
