Airway Stenosis, Stenosis Index Quantification
Brief summary
This is a pilot study to assess the utility of the automatic stenosis index quantification using 3D Slicer software (Computer-based Quantification). We will recruit three physicians to perform a similar analysis using video images of the same bronchoscopes images (Human-based Quantification). This study relates to the latter data collection.
