Semi-Automatic Measurement of the Airway Dimension by Computed Tomography Using the Full-With-Half-Maximum Method: a Study of the Measurement Accuracy according to the Orientation of an Artificial Airway

Abstract

The airway obliquity and imaging parameters have a strong influence on the accuracy of the airway wall measurement. For the accurate measurement of airway thickness, the CT images should be reconstructed with a standard kernel and a 0.75 mm slice thickness.
