The clinical presentation of unexplained dyspnea, or shortness of breath, can be complex. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnostic process, but anatomical findings can overlap, lag or precede clinical symptoms. CT lung ventilation analysis significantly enhances diagnostic reports, providing actionable information. Philips offers the 4DMedical™ CT LVAS™ as a Software-as-a-Service (SasS) to allow clinicians to better characterize lung conditions and detect associated regional lung changes.
CT-LVAS™ provides regional quantification of lung function, including lung volumes, ventilation heterogeneity, and ventilation defect percentage with easy-to-read, color-coded visualization. Gives detailed, actionable insights into lung function to better characterize and quantify respiratory conditions and symptoms including lung health assessment for toxic exposure, VA-specific lung cancer screening, COPD, Sarcoidosis/long COVID, and more. Compatible with existing imaging equipment with no need for contrast agents.
