Title
Unsupervised analysis of thorax CT datasets
Summary
The research project aims at identifying cancerous tissue through unsupervised analysis of large-scale CT databases. We further address the automatic extraction and analysis of airway trees from CTs in order to map malformed bronchial tree formations also to increased prevalence of lung cancer.
Aims
- Unsupervised analysis of CT scans for detection of suspicious regions for lung cancer
- Automatic segmentation, analysis and evaluation of airway trees from CT scans
