About

This project stems from the pulmonary part of the COVID-19 transversal project.

We are investigating image processing techniques for the analysis of lung parenchyma and vascularization in three-dimensional (3D) thoracic computed tomography (CT) images. This imaging modality provides information on the air-to-tissue ratio within the lung parenchyma. Changes between CT scans acquired under different respiratory conditions (e.g., end-inhale and end-exhale) can be used to assess surrogate measures of ventilation, while analysis of pulmonary vascular tree structures can help understand perfusion disorders.
