Abstract

This paper develops an original volumetric quantification approach of the bronchial wall remodeling, based on MDCT acquisitions prior/post-medication delivery. The methodology is implemented as a software system -BronWall- integrating 3D segmentation, interaction, navigation, representation and 2D/3D quantification facilities. Such a system provides higher robustness with respect to the existing quantification approaches and MDCT acquisition protocol variability. BronWall may thus become a clinical tool for estimating the impact of therapeutic protocols designed to reverse the airway remodeling induced by chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.
