Hunting imaging biomarkers in pulmonary fibrosis: Benchmarks of the AIIB23 challenge

Understand

Airway-related quantitative imaging biomarkers are crucial for examination, diagnosis, and prognosis in pulmonary diseases.

• However, the manual delineation of airway trees remains prohibitively time-consuming.
• While significant efforts have been made towards enhancing airway modelling, current public-available datasets concentrate on lung diseases with moderate morphological variations.
• The intricate honeycombing patterns present in the lung tissues of fibrotic lung disease patients exacerbate the challenges, often leading to various prediction errors.
