Intelligent Radiomics

Software developed to automatically calculate the degree of stenosis (or narrowing) of the airway in less than 10 seconds by analyzing frames of video bronchoscopy examinations. This computer program can perform near real-time measurements of the percentage of airway narrowing. This system will allow us to measure the level of obstruction continuously, and it will allow us to inspect airway dynamics throughout the respiratory cycle to detect dynamic airway collapse anomalies.

There is an underdiagnosis of dynamic airway alterations, partly due to the lack of tools for quick, reliable, and reproducible measurement of collapse during forced expiration. The use of specific software for studying dynamic airway collapse, accessible online, would enable more precise measurements, facilitating the detection of these alterations and reducing observer variability, thus standardizing the diagnosis of this clinically under-recognized condition.
