Figure 5

Segmented lung and air regions are displayed as red and blue, respectively. These images illustrate a large pneumothorax, as shown by the blue “air” region encompassing the right lung. (a) displays the result of the adaptive thresholding segmentation. (b) displays the result after applying the 3D connectivity constraints for the same case.
