Variations of Morphologic Index of MDCT for Healthy Lungs

Abstract

We selected morphologic indices to used CAD in healthy lungs for prediction of biopsy in lung diseases and identify their variations of bilateral lungs at each vertebral level. Significant differences were observed in morphologic indices between bilateral lungs at slice level. Our own designed morphologic indices may be reliable parameters in the establishment of CAD system and pathologic diagnosis for lung disease.
