Quantitative assessment of the upper airway in infants and children with subglottic stenosis

OBJECTIVES: Determine whether geometric measures and computational fluid dynamic modeling (CFD) derived from medical imaging are effective diagnostic and treatment planning tools for pediatric subglottic stenosis (SGS). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective …

Statistical atlas construction via weighted functional boxplots

Atlas-building from population data is widely used in medical imaging. However, the emphasis of atlas-building approaches is typically to estimate a spatial alignment to compute a mean / median shape or image based on population data. In this work, …

A pediatric airway atlas and its application in subglottic stenosis

Young children with upper airway problems are at risk for hypoxia, respiratory insufficiency and long term morbidity. Computational models and quantitative analysis would reveal airway growth patterns and benefit clinical care. To capture expected …

Weighted Functional Boxplot with Application to Statistical Atlas Construction

Atlas-building from population data is widely used in medical imaging. However, the emphasis of atlas-building approaches is typically to compute a mean / median shape or image based on population data. In this work, we focus on the statistical …
