Automating image analysis is key to accelerate quantitative image metric calculation and increase consistency between observers. This work presents a custom-built software to calculate percentage lung ventilated volume (%VV) from hyperpolarised gas and 1H MRI using spatial fuzzy c-means thresholding. The software developed reduced analysis time and user input resulting in significantly decreased interobserver variability when postprocessing image data.
