VUNO Med®-LungCT AI™

VUNO

It detects and quantifies pulmonary nodules, providing size, volume, nodule type, location, calcification, and spiculation. An automatic report based on the calculated Lung-RADS category is produced to assist in managing pulmonary nodules. Its follow-up registration and nodule matching aid the comparison of serial CT scans. Operation settings can be customized between sensitivity-oriented for high-risk patients and specificity-oriented for efficient screening.
