World TB Day - Automated analysis of the airways in CT scans for the modelling of TB
Listen now
Description
Benjamin Irving presents work on automated analysis of the airways in CT scans for the modelling of TB at 'The Challenge of TB: UCL's Contribution' held on 24th March 2010. This innovative project, in conjunction with colleagues from Cape Town, SA, is looking to mathematics and physics to develop a screening tool to detect TB based on digital radiography. The process aims to analyse 3D CT images of airways of patients with TB to develop a statistical model of airway deformation that can be used to screen for TB. The 3D findings will later be applied to 2D radiography to develop the screening tool further.
