Precision Lung Image Intelligence
Robust modular AI technology
LungQ® – our modular technology portfolio of advanced deep-learning algorithms for thoracic image analysis – offers market-unique segmentation and quantification capabilities for comprehensive assessment of lung anatomy and diseased lung regions.
Designed to handle image variability, the algorithms are optimized across therapeutic areas and clinical applications to ensure reproducible performance in real-world settings.
Extensively validated across diseases and patient populations, LungQ® analyses deliver precise quantitative insights to support translational research, drug development, and minimally invasive interventional therapies.
Precise identification of anatomical structures and disease patterns
Powered by advanced lobe-to-subsegmental segmentation and sensitive, accurate measurements LungQ is built on deep expertise in thoracic image analysis.
Consistently high performance, optimized for clinical impact
Backed by robust algorithm engineering and validation in a wide range of diseases and patient populations, our platform delivers reliable results for clinically meaningful solutions.
Scalable capabilities, adoptable across clinical contexts
Enabled by a modular design that supports flexible integration into diverse workflows, applicability is ensured across use cases and therapeutic areas.
Parenchymal analysis
Providing assessment of parenchymal texture patterns and estimated chronic perfusion defects.
Delivering critical information for treatment of emphysema, lung cancer, ILD, and other lung diseases.
Bronchial analysis
Enabling deep exploration of bronchial anatomical structures and underlying mechanisms of airway disease such as cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, bronchiectasis disease, COPD, and other.
Vascular analysis
Uncovering novel insights into pulmonary arterial and venous volume changes throughout the entire vascular tree, supporting treatment of pulmonary vascular diseases related to PH, COPD, and ILD.
Advanced anatomical segmentation
Accurate segmentation forms a critical basis for an accurate identification of anatomical lung structures and disease distribution at global and regional level.
In combination with localization of anatomy, our advanced anatomical segmentation algorithms are optimized to accurately identify parenchymal, bronchial, and vascular anatomy with high sensitivity, extending down to pulmonary subsegments, interlobar fissures, distal airway branches, pulmonary arteries and veins.
