Predicting mucus plugs from lung CT scans
For my master’s thesis, I built a pipeline from raw lung CT images to estimates of mucus plug burden. I compared CNN models using fivefold cross-validation, evaluated predictions at patient level, and examined data leakage, uncertainty and generalisation. The thesis received an A. A paper based on the thesis is being prepared for submission to a suitable conference.
From images to estimates
My work covered the pipeline from raw lung CT images to estimates of mucus plug burden, including model training and comparison.
Evaluation
I used fivefold cross-validation and evaluated predictions at patient level. The research examined data leakage, uncertainty and generalisation.
Research outcome
The completed thesis received an A. The card image is an AI-generated illustration, not a patient scan or a model result.
Publication in progress
A paper based on the thesis is being prepared for submission to a suitable conference.
