Airway Tapering In CT

A MATLAB implementation of acquiring an airway tapering measurement as described in my work:

• K. Quan et al., “Tapering analysis of airways with bronchiectasis,” Proc. SPIE 10574, 105742G (2018). https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.06604

The code was written on Windows 10 and includes an example with images.

Example

To run the example requires the following step:

1. Uncompressed the rar files.
2. Run “Main_script_for_tapering_vaule.m”
