The Lung Nodule Surveillance and Cancer Detection Program specializes in risk assessment, evaluation and diagnosis of lung nodules, as well as care for individuals with lung cancer.
The Lung Density Analysis service evaluates lung tissue functionality by identifying air trapping, a key marker for diagnosing emphysema. Air trapping occurs when air gets stuck in the lungs during exhalation, leading to decreased lung efficiency and breathlessness. Conditions that cause air trapping include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchiectasis, and lung scarring. Utilizing AI, we analyze lung density and texture patterns to identify areas of abnormal air retention, indicative of emphysematous changes.
By color-coding lung densities, our reports offer clear visual indicators of abnormal air retention and lung tissue functionality. This may enable healthcare professionals to quickly assess the state of a patient’s lungs, facilitating more effective management and treatment strategies for pulmonary conditions.
