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.

Use Cases
