Semiautomatic Three-dimensional Reconstruction and Quantitative Analysis of Pulmonary CT Scans: Current Methodology at the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research
Abstract
Assessment of density patterns is critical for quantification of the morphology in healthy and diseased lungs. We propose a fast and accurate method for semiautomatic lung density distribution assessment. The algorithm is based on a customized, commercially available software package that supports various file formats. Analysis of porcine CT scans was done using a software package, Able Software Corp., 3D-Doctor, Lexington, MA. Briefly, axial CT scans were semi automatically analyzed, slice-by-slice, using the interactive segmentation function of the 3D-Doctor software. Pre, and post, contusion image stacks were quantified and compared with respect to density distribution.
