AI-Powered Imaging System Improves Lung Cancer Diagnosis

Body Vision Medical’s (Waltham, MA, USA) LungVision is an AI-powered advanced imaging system that transforms any 2D C-arm into an advanced 3D imaging system with sophisticated navigation capabilities. This technology enables pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons to obtain real-time, intraoperative imaging, allowing them to accurately locate and biopsy small lung lesions with greater precision and confidence. Body Vision’s real-time imaging technology offers significant opportunities, particularly in improving early cancer detection and ultimately boosting lung cancer survival rates. Previously, physicians had to choose between digital tomosynthesis, which is cost-effective but offers poor image quality, and cone-beam CT systems, which provide high-quality images but come with high costs and substantial radiation exposure. With Body Vision’s proprietary AI Tomo technology, LungVision delivers 3D imaging that matches cone-beam CT quality while minimizing both radiation exposure and cost.

Body Vision’s proprietary AI Tomo technology corrects for CT-to-Body divergence, and a visual Tool-in-Lesion confirmation significantly increases clinician confidence, achieving diagnostic yields approaching 95%. Fluoroscopy, augmented with an overlay of the actual lesion location (instead of just a virtual target), enables precise image-guided navigation and biopsy. The AI Tomo technology represents a major advancement in imaging, enabling imaging of comparable, if not superior, quality at a lower dose than a 3D C-arm, especially for sub-centimeter and sub-solid lesions. LungVision can be easily integrated with 2D and 3D C-arms, navigation platforms, bronchoscopes (including robotic systems), and biopsy tools. The advanced imaging system has received regulatory approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia, marking a significant step forward in Body Vision’s mission to enhance early and accurate lung cancer diagnosis globally.
