ERS transform for the automated detection of bronchial abnormalities on CT of the lungs.

The identification of bronchi on Computed Tomography (CT) images of the lungs provides valuable clinical information in patients with suspected airways diseases including bronchiectasis, emphysema, or constrictive obliterative bronchiolitis. The automated recognition of the airways is, therefore, an...
