Small Animal Lung Volume Segmentation Employing the Albira CT and PMOD Software

This application protocol provides instructions for segmenting the lung volume in small animal Albira µCT datasets to allow for quantitative volumetric measurement, and unique visualization of the lung volume merged with the original whole CT. Masking for heart and kidney regions for visualization of merged original whole CT, lung volume, heart region, and kidney regions is also shown. This method may be applied to Albira µCT small animal disease model datasets to assess lung volumes.
