    Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 3-D virtual bronchoscopy (VB) with that of Fiber-optic (FB) bronchoscopy in patients who had symptoms of respiratory disorders. Thirty patients underwent VB examination. Thin section helical computerized tomography (CT) image were obtained. The volumetric data was downloaded to a works... Show More

    Abstract: High resolution of image segment algorithm plays a very important role in biomedical modeling and diagnosis, which is difficult to be easily solved by traditional algorithms. This article presents a biomedical image segment algorithm based on computational intelligence. First, an assessment method for image resolution is proposed here, and some rel... Show More
