<h3>Background</h3>
Airway Inspector (www.airwayinspector.org) is a tool for CT-based image quantitative analysis of the lung to allow the  exploration of  airway morphology and desitometric characteristics [1]. In order to become a part of 3D Slicer 4, the Airway inspector needs to have a consistent MRML representation of data and visualization

<h3>Objective</h3>
To develop a MRML Infrastructure for the airway inspector
</div>

<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">
<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
We will base the developement in the current infrastructure for tractography in 3D slicer. This is well modularized and encompasses data representation, I/O and GUI

<div style="width: 40%; float: left;">
<h3>Progress</h3>
A Loadable module with the MRML nodes for storage, data representation and visualization has been created. The next steps are to create the Logic and GUI components.

==Delivery Mechanism==
This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a 

#Slicer Module
##Extension — loadable modules
