Research question / problem definition |
---|
This study’s goal is to determine whether bronchial parameters of individuals differ on short-term follow-up CT and which factors are related to bronchial wall thickness. |
Workplan |
---|
Bronchial parameters from initial and repeat scans of 200 participants will be available for this topic. The student will first familiarize themselves with the topic by studying the literature. To investigate the research question, the student will analyse the dataset. The student will learn the basics of chest CT evaluation and will be able to use the AI software for analysis of bronchial segmentation and wall thickness measurements. The results will be presented in a manuscript/article. |
