Validation of automated lobe segmentation on paired inspiratory-expiratory chest CT in 8-14 year-old children with cystic fibrosis

Abstract

Automatic lobe segmentation delivers excellent results for inspiratory and good results for expiratory CT. It may become an important component for lobe-based quantification of functional deficits in cystic fibrosis lung disease, reducing necessity for user-interaction in CT post-processing.
