LungQ
AI-powered analysis of thoracic CT scans for specialized clinical care and interventional pulmonology.
Features
-
Identification and volumetric quantification of anatomical structures within thelungs
- One page report with severity scores for emphysematous lung tissue and percentage of interlobar fissure completeness.
- Visual representation of abnormal tissue for easy interpretation.
For CE use: - Produces reproducible CT values for pulmonary tissue, providing quantitative support for diagnosis, and follow-up examinations.
- Supports the physician in the diagnosis, evaluation and documentation of pulmonary tissue images (e.g. abnormalities) from CT thoracic datasets.
- Analysis provided includes segmentation and isolation of sub-compartments, volumetric analysis, density evaluations, fissure evaluation and reporting tools.
FDA use: - Provides reproducible CT values for pulmonary tissue which is essential for providing quantitative support for diagnosis and follow-up examination.
- Supports physicians in the diagnosis and documentation of pulmonary tissue images (e.g. abnormalities) from CT thoracic datasets.



Benefits
Results from a study shows that LungQ can:
- Give accurate disease progression management with consistent and reproducible measurements across time (and acquisition protocols - EU CE only1).
- Perform quantitative measurements within the identified sub-compartments on thoracic CTs, which aids clinicians in more accurate and precise diagnosis and timely management of the disease. This enables a personalized approach to treatment planning and monitoring of disease progression over time, potentially helping improve patient’s outcomes, documented with objective evidence1.
- The intended clinical benefits of LungQ are:
- To aid a more precise diagnosis compared to the clinical standard of lung function testing,
- To follow disease progression over time with quantitative measurements.
- Allow for precise treatment planning.
- To help improve operational efficiency, allowing for potential reduction of clinical workload, quicker patient diagnosis, more effective treatment and reduced care costs.
