Weakly Supervised Airway Orifice Segmentation in Video Bronchoscopy [PDF]
Video bronchoscopy is routinely conducted for biopsies of lung tissue suspected for cancer, monitoring of COPD patients and clarification of acute respiratory problems at intensive care units. The navigation within complex bronchial trees is particularly challenging and physically demanding, requiring long-term experiences of physicians.
