Popis: The paper describes a computer tool dedicated to the comprehensive analysis of lung changes in computed tomography (CT) images. The correlation between the dose delivered during radiotherapy and pulmonary fibrosis is offered as an example analysis. The input data, in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format, is provided from CT images and dose distribution models of patients. The CT images are processed using convolution neural networks, and next, the selected slices go through the segmentation and registration algorithms. The results of the analysis are visualized in graphical format and also in numerical parameters calculated based on the images analysis.
