Activity Description
Bronchiectasis is an abnormal enlargement of the airways. We will use an automated approach to identify bronchiectasis on lung images and study its changes over time. We will then assess the association of those changes with lung function and identify people at risk of bronchiectasis worsening on lung images.Audience
