Abstract EN
In lungs the number of conducting airway generations as well as bifurcation patterns varies across species and shows specific characteristics relating to illnesses or gene variations.
A method to characterize the topology of the mouse airway tree using scanning laser optical tomography (SLOT) tomograms is presented in this paper.
It is used to test discrimination between two types of mice based on detected differences in their conducting airway pattern.
Based on segmentations of the airways in these tomograms, the main spanning tree of the volume skeleton is computed.
The resulting graph structure is used to distinguish between wild type and surfactant protein (SP-D) deficient knock-out mice.
