Abstract
Methods, devices, systems and apparatus for determining emphysema thresholds for processing a pulmonary medical image are provided. In one aspect, a method includes: determining lung lobe regions in the pulmonary medical image, and, for each of the lung lobe regions, clustering CT values in the lung lobe region to divide the lung lobe region into a first sub region and a second sub region and acquiring a CT value corresponding to an intersection of a first CT value distribution function for the first sub region and a second CT value distribution function for the second sub region in the lung lobe region as an emphysema threshold for the lung lobe region.
