The problem Chronic lung diseases, like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are characterised by abnormal dilatation of the airways. Quantification of airway features on computed tomography (CT) can help characterise disease progression.

The goal of this project is to come up with a more objective method to measure the severity of structural lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In these diseases, the airways dilate and worsen with disease progression (bronchiectasis).

The Antikythera Mechanism is best described as a 2000 year old ancient greek astronomical computer. Having laid on the sea for the majority of this time its bronze interior has corroded and calcified making it incredibly fragile.
