The Lung Image Analysis (LIA) software is designed to aid in the interpretation of Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the thorax that may contain pulmonary abnormalities. Lung Image Analysis has both a graphical user interface and command-line software which can be run as a Windows application or from a command-line interpreter. The LIA software is to be used by trained professionals who are responsible for the correct and accurate use of medical images. In a typical clinical environment, the results provided by the software are used together with other clinical information by a medical professional.The software may be installed on an off-the-shelf PC computer system and is intended to be used with uncompressed digital images that are saved in DICOM format.
An application software program intended to add specific image processing and/or analysis capabilities to an x-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging system; it is not dedicated to radiotherapy treatment planning. A basic set of applications programs and routines are included with such computer-controlled imaging systems and they can be upgraded to correct programming errors or to add new system capabilities. Some applications software routines or groups of routines must be combined with specific hardware or firmware accessories or configurations in order to function as intended. Applications program packages are typically identified by a proprietary name and version or upgrade number.
