Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnostic process for unexplained dyspnea, or shortness of breath, but anatomical findings can overlap, lag or precede clinical symptoms. CT lung ventilation analysis enhances diagnostic reports, providing referrers with actionable information. Philips offers the 4DMedical™ CT LVAS™ to help clinicians better characterize lung conditions and detect associated regional lung changes. CT LVAS™ is offered as a Software-as a Service (SaaS).
Features:
• Regional quantification of lung function, including lung volumes, ventilation heterogeneity, and ventilation defect percentage
• Easy-to-read, color-coded visualization of regional lung ventilation
• Detailed, actionable insights into lung function to better characterize and quantify respiratory conditions and symptoms
• Compatibility with existing imaging equipment
• No need for contrast agents
Key conditions include lung health assessment for toxic exposure, VA-specific lung cancer screening, COPD, Sarcoidosis/long COVID.
