Abstract

Reconstructing the human airways begins with image acquisition which involves the procurement of medical images typically from computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. This produces a 3D matrix of a series of 2D cross-sections, that contains information about tissues and anatomic structures. Reconstructing the airway from the medical scans involves segmentation of the region of interest. The segmentation step extracts a contiguous airway region which is ready for 3D model processing. This chapter discusses CT and MR scan imaging, followed by some common segmentation algorithms based on thresholding, edge detection, and region characteristics.
