ClariPulmo is a non-invasive image analysis software for use with CT images which is intended to aid the assessment of lung Abnormalities. The software is designed to support the physician in quantification of physicianidentified lung Abnormalities. The software will provide automated segmentation of the lungs and quantification of low-attenuation and high-attenuation areas within the segmented lungs by using predefined Hounsfield unit thresholds. The software displays by color the segmented lungs and identified Abnormality. ClariPulmo provides optional denoising and kernel normalization functions for improved quantification of lung Abnormalities in cases when CT images were taken at low-dose conditions or with sharp reconstruction kernels.
A software application intended to facilitate management, distribution, and/or viewing of radiological digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) image data; it is not intended for pathological image interpretation (i.e., not intended to detect and localize suspected abnormalities). It may be intended to facilitate image management (e.g., viewing, communication, printing, recording/ disc burning) and/or image manipulation and quantification (e.g., non-interpretive graphical overlays).
