BronCare software reliably segments airways on MDCT scans for mild asthma patients. Specific criteria ensure accurate measurements of bronchial dimensions, aiding clinical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Pulmonology
  • Software Development

Background:

  • Accurate quantification of bronchial dimensions is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring airway diseases.
  • Existing methods for airway segmentation in MDCT may have limitations in reliability and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and reliability of dedicated software (BronCare) for quantifying bronchial dimensions using MDCT.
  • To define and evaluate criteria for ensuring accurate airway segmentation and measurement.

Main Methods:

  • BronCare software was applied to two successive MDCT examinations in 10 mild asthmatic patients.
  • Acquisitions were performed at a controlled lung volume (65% TLC) with focus on the right lung base.
  • Five validation criteria were established for bronchus type, lumen area (LA), length (Lg), confidence index (CI) for wall area (WA), and contiguous images.

Main Results:

  • Complete segmentation enabled evaluation of LA in 78% and WA in 98% of bronchi across both acquisitions.
  • Validation criteria were met for 81% of segmental bronchi (LA) and 72% (WA), and 72% of subsegmental bronchi (LA) and 57% (WA).

Conclusions:

  • BronCare demonstrates reliability for airway segmentation in clinical practice.
  • The proposed validation criteria appear appropriate for selecting bronchi suitable for accurate dimensional measurements.
