Abstract

To facilitate physiological measurements and study relative structural changes, the 3-D lung tree volumes are reduced to a 3-D Euclidean straight line central axis tree. Matching of 3-D volumes is accomplished by designing an algorithm that matches their corresponding central axis trees. The algorithm produced accurate matchings on various airway data sets of a dog lung obtained from Computed Tomography under simulated breathing conditions. The T1 and T2 central axis trees are obtained by running a two-pass central axis algorithm on the tree volumes.
