From: The superiority of manual over automated methods in identifying bronchial trees on identical CT images

Figure 1

Bronchial trees were reconstructed by automatic CT analysis using virtual bronchoscopic navigation software and by manual CT analysis using the direct oblique method (DOM). (A) Images of the entire bronchial trees. The virtual bronchoscopic navigation software, VINCENT-BFsim, identified 279 bronchial tree tips in the whole lung, while the DOM on Ziosation2 identified 1482 tips. The areas indicated by red squares are magnified in (B). (B) Magnified images of the bronchial trees. The tips of the bronchial trees are shown as round dots. The blue circles indicate examples of tips.
