1. A computer-implemented method for providing at least one quantitative airway information, comprising:
determining whether a proposed airway segment is curved;
in response to determining that the proposed airway segment is curved, subdividing the proposed airway segment into one or more segments and adding the one or more segments to a plurality of airway segments of an airway centerline tree;
in response to the proposed airway segment not being curved, adding the proposed airway segment to the plurality of airway segments;
determining first medical image data of an airway segment, the airway segment being selected from the plurality of airway segments;
applying a first trained function to the first medical image data, to generate output data, the output data including a mask of a wall of the airway segment;
determining the at least one quantitative airway information of the airway segment based on the output data; and
providing the at least one quantitative airway information, wherein
the airway segment is a portion of the airway centerline tree that is not curved,
the first medical image data is a slice that is extracted from second medical image data, the slice being orthogonal to the airway segment such that the slice includes a cross-section of the airway segment, and
the first medical image data is determined based on the airway centerline tree and the second medical image data.
