Lung imaging software developer Vida Diagnostics has received a notice of allowance for a patent on a software feature that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze lung fissures.
Vida's Endobronchial Lung Volume Reduction planning software is designed to help clinicians plan lung volume reduction procedures for patients with hyperinflated lungs caused by emphysema. The software will now include a feature that uses machine learning to assess and map lung fissures as well as characterize disease in distinct regions of the lungs.
The company also recently released Vida vision 2.1, an updated version of its lung volume analysis software.
