Abstract The tracheobronchial tree as part of the lung is part of one of the most important organs of the human body. Inhaled air is distributed to the alveolus where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between air and blood takes place. In this paper, we introduce the virtual endoscopy system VIVENDI to perform virtual inspections of tracheobronchial trees based on their segmentation and of the complementing blood vessels. It is based on a hybrid segmentation pipeline which enables the segmentation of vascular and tracheobronchial structures down to the seventh generation of the bronchi.
