Quantitative lung morphology: semi-automated measurement of mean linear intercept
Abstract Background Quantifying morphologic changes is critical to our understanding of the pathophysiology of the lung. Mean linear intercept (MLI) measures are important in the assessment of clinically relevant pathology, such as emphysema. However, qualitative measures are prone to error and bias...
