Brief summary
Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by permanent bronchiectasis.The incidence and prevalence of bronchiectasis have assumed continuously grows in global. Chest computed tomography (CT) remains the imaging standard for demonstrating cystic fibrosis (CF) airway structural disease in vivo. However, visual scoring systems as an outcome measure are time consuming, require training and lack high reproducibility. Our objective was to validate a fully automated artificial intelligence (AI)-driven scoring system of CF lung disease severity.
