Asthma is a common disorder affecting around 315 million individuals worldwide. The
heterogeneity of asthma is becoming increasingly important in the era of personalized …

Background CT-derived bronchial parameters have been linked to chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease and asthma severity, but little is known about these parameters in …

This paper presents a fully automatic and end-to-end optimised airway segmentation
method for thoracic computed tomography, based on the U-Net architecture. We use a …

Objectives To quantify airway and artery (AA)-dimensions in cystic fibrosis (CF) and control
patients for objective CT diagnosis of bronchiectasis and airway wall thickness (AWT) …

Background Ambient air pollution can contribute to the development and exacerbation of
COPD. However, the influence of air pollution on objective COPD phenotypes, especially …

Since aspects of demographic transition have become an essential part of socioeconomic,
medical and health-care research in the last decades, it is vital for the radiologist to …

Background To facilitate accurate localization of small lung lesions in thoracoscopic surgery,
we employed a micro-radiofrequency identification tag designed to be delivered through the …

We present a fast and robust atlas-based algorithm for labeling airway trees, using geodesic
distances in a geometric tree-space. Possible branch label configurations for an unlabeled …

Background The assessment of bronchus–artery (BA) metrics on chest CT is important for
detecting airway abnormalities. It is less clear how BA metrics are dependent on lung …

Background Accurate preoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules facilitates the
rapid and precise video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This study aims to evaluate …
