Embodiment Construction
[0022] The following disclosure describes the invention in terms of several embodiments directed to methods, systems and devices related to visualizing different types of airway wall abnormalities. The techniques described herein can be used to automatically calculate and display the location of airways that are: (i) thickened but not inflamed; (ii) thickened and inflamed; (iii) inflamed but not thickened; or (iv) )normal. Any detected abnormalities can be presented in an interactive display that allows the physician to quickly identify these different types of abnormalities. Such a display gives physicians the ability to distinguish thickened walls that are inflamed and potentially treatable with anti-inflammatory drugs from non-inflamed thickened walls that have a less favorable prognosis.
[0023] figure 1 A method 100 for detecting thickened bronchial walls is presented according to some embodiments. The method begins at step 105 by acquiring a CT volume of the patient'...
