The goal of this project is to create a new tool for SlicerCIP that allows to identify bronchiectatic airways on chest CT images in a manual or semi-automatic basis with the help of a customized Slicer Editor module. The tool should allow to compute different measures of the specified airway (area, std dev, mean, etc.) and save them into an xml file along with airway location.

Project Description

Objective Approach and Plan Progress and Next Steps

The goal of this project is to create a new semi-automated tool for SlicerCIP that allows to define bronchiectasis by means of the airway to vessel ratio. If ratio > 1, then there is bronchiectasis.


  • Implement a customized Slicer editor module to select the region of interest (airway + vessel)
  • Implement a tool to compute the airway to vessel ratio
  • Use SlicerCIP template to save results
