The Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP), a population-based study from a rural state in
northeastern Germany with a relatively poor life expectancy, supplemented its …

Purpose Several negative factors, such as juxta‐pleural nodules, pulmonary vessels, and
image noise, make accurately segmenting lungs from computed tomography (CT) images a …

Lung segmentation in dynamic thoracic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a critical step
for quantitative analysis of thoracic structure and function in patients with respiratory …

Three dimensional reconstruction of lung and vessel tree has great significance to 3D
observation and quantitative analysis for lung diseases. This paper presents non-sheltered …

Left atrial (LA) physiology and hemodynamics are intimately connected to cardiac and lung
function in health and disease. This study examined the relationship between MRI-based left …

To evaluate the relationship of cardiac function, including time-volume-curves, with lung
volumes derived from pulmonary function tests (PFT) and MRI in subjects without …

Objectives Whole-body MR imaging is increasingly utilised; although for lung dedicated
sequences are often not included, the chest is typically imaged. Our objective was to …

We describe an automated computerized scheme to identify pulmonary fissures depicted in
chest computed tomography (CT) examinations from a novel perspective. Whereas CT …

Background Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Even
impaired levels of glucose and insulin might harm organ function prior to diabetes onset …

In our project, soft tissue structures of a throat are examined via MRI and anatomic risk
factors for sleep related disorders are studied. Segmentation of pharyngeal structures is the …
