Abstract

The accurate identification and delineation of the Lungs structure from computerized tomography images would be extremely helpful in the clinical understanding of a patient's condition. The ability to view the Lungs in three dimensions and to zoom in on problem areas would also be of great assistance to a clinician in the decision making process. This paper focuses on the development of a method for the automatic segmentation and three dimensional visualization of the Lungs structure.
