【 摘 要 】

Human lungs consist of various lobes and segments; the right consisting of 3 lobes and 10 bronchopulmonary segments and the left consisting of 2 lobes and 10 bronchopulmonary segments. A CT data of cancerous lung is taken and is segmented along with the vascular tree and tumor. The algorithms used for the study include Hessian matrix and Otsu's multiple thresholding. The resultants will be fused and visualized in 3D fashion using Visualization Tool Kit (VTK), which is considered to be the future work. Later this part of the module will be further added to the application development process which finally will be provided to the cardiothoracic surgeons. This will enable them to the pre-planning of cardiothoracic surgery.
