{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}
AirwaySegmentation is a simple CLI module for the segmentation of the airway starting from chest CT images. This CLI uses a modified version of ITK's itkConnectedThresholdImageFilter to segment all the pixels with an intensity below a threshold. The threshold is automatically identified by the module. The user has to specify three fiducial points: one in the trachea, and two in the main bronchi of the left and right lungs. The fiducials are the starting points for the region growing segmentation. No more than 3 seed points are allowed.

* <span>'''''Segmentation Parameters'''''</span>: Input parameters for segmentation.
** <span>'''Airway Label Value'''</span>: The integer value (0-255) to use for the segmentation results. This will determine the color of the segmentation that will be generated by the algorithm.
** <span>'''Seeds'''</span>: Seed points for the algorithm. Three seeds points must be placed. One in the trachea, the others in the main bronchi of the left and right lungs.

* <span>'''''IO'''''</span>: Input and Output parameters.
** <span>'''Input Volume'''</span>: Input chest CT dataset to be segmented.
** <span >'''Output Parameters'''</span>: Output label.
