{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}
AirwaySegmentation is a simple CLI module for airway segmentation 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. These fiducials are the starting points for the region growing segmentation. No more than 3 seed points are allowed.

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Panels and their use}}

* '''''Segmentation Parameters''''': Input parameters for segmentation.
** '''Airway Label Value''': 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.
** '''Seeds''': Seed points for the algorithm. Three seeds points must be placed. The first one in the trachea, the others in the main bronchi of the left and right lungs.

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