Lung CT image based automatic technique for COPD GOLD stage assessment
作者：
Highlights：
• An accurate automatic image-based COPD assessment technique is proposed.
• The technique relies on a novel thoracic CT images processing.
• 23 features of air volume variation and distribution within the lung are extracted.
• The study included lung CT images and PFT measurements of 69 subjects.
• Results indicate the technique’s potential as a clinical COPD diagnosis method.
