Saige Lung (Veye Lung Nodules)

DeepHealth
This AI assistant supports radiologists with detecting, classifying and tracking the growth of pulmonary nodules. Saige Lung (previously Veye Lung Nodules by Aidence) integrates into the PACS and is currently in use across Europe in both routine clinical practice and lung cancer screening programs.
