A Web Infrastructure for emphysema diagnosis and follow-up through computed tomography image analysis

Thanks to the introduction of detection systems and reconstruction algorithms that allow three-dimensional views of anatomical structures and their functionalities, during the last decade, the imaging solutions for medical issues have suffered a wide expansion and diffusion. A Web infrastructure has been realized for the analysis of thorax radiological images obtained through computed tomography (CT) with volumetric acquisition. The infrastructure is able to perform lung densitometry analysis for pulmonary emphysema diagnosis and follow-up.
