Moreover, different lung structures like blood vessels, bronchioles and bronchi have so close densities with chest tissues that it is very difficult to accurately threshold the region of interest and it requires special post-segmentation processes for accurate segmentation. Deformable boundary based techniques have the disadvantage of extra sensitivity of initialization.
