Abstract
We present a fast and robust supervised algorithm for label-
ing anatomical airway trees, based on geodesic distances in a geometric
tree-space. Possible branch label configurations for a given unlabeled air-
way tree are evaluated based on the distances to a training set of labeled
airway trees. In tree-space, the airway tree topology and geometry change
continuously, giving a natural way to automatically handle anatomical
differences and noise. The algorithm is made efficient using a hierarchical
approach, in which labels are assigned from the top down. We only use
features of the airway centerline tree, which is relatively unaffected by
pathology.
A thorough leave-one-patient-out evaluation of the algorithm is made on
40 segmented airway trees from 20 subjects labeled by 2 medical experts.
We evaluate accuracy, reproducibility and robustness in patients with
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Performance is statis-
tically similar to the inter- and intra-expert agreement, and we found no
significant correlation between COPD stage and labeling accuracy.
