Semi-Automatic Measurement of the Airway Dimension by Computed Tomography Using the Full-Width-Half-Maximum Method: a Study on the Measurement Accuracy according to the CT Parameters and Size of the Airway

Abstract

Objective: To assess the influence of variable factors such as the size of the airway and the CT imaging parameters such as the reconstruction kernel, field-ofview (FOV), and slice thickness on the automatic measurement of airway dimension.
