Repräsentiert der HRCT-Emphysemindex die gesamte Lunge?

2005

Purpose: Comparison of emphysema index derived of thin section MD-CT of the entire lung volume and HRCT, simulated by calculation of every twentieth image of the whole data-set. Materials and Methods: Pulmonary emphysema was quantified by semiautomatic, segmentation of lung borders and assessment of lung volume and emphysema volume within these borders. The emphysema index (pixel index) was calculated. Statistical analysis was done by the sign-test and Bland-Altman-analysis. Results: Median lung volume, emphysema volume and emphysema index are significantly higher in simulated HRCT. Median lung volume (emphysema volume) calculated by HRCT is 5118 ml (407 ml) and 5040 ml (367 ml) calculated …

Vollautomatische Detektion und Quantifizierung des Lungenemphysems in Dünnschicht-MD-CT des Thorax durch eine neue, speziell entwickelte Software

2004

Purpose: Introduction of a novel software tool (YACTA - yet another CT analyzer) for detection and quantification of pulmonary emphysema in thin-slice chest MDCT data sets. Materials and Methods: Consisting of grey-level threshold-based algorithms (e. g., region-growing), expert rules and morphological image postprocessing YACTA segments the tracheobronchial tree prior to the detection and quantification of pulmonary emphysema. In addition to general parameters, such as the mean lung density (MLD) and the emphysema index (EI - also described as pixel index PI), the previously described bullae index (BI) is transformed into a three-dimensional parameter for a morphological description of emp…
