Mimicking the complex structure and function of the lung in a lab setting is inherently challenging. The UD-developed 3D lung model is unique in several ways.

Optellum, a global leader in AI for lung health, today announced the world's first thorax CT foundation model built for precision lung care in real-world settings – an ambitious initiative aiming to ...

First, the model breathes in the same cyclic motion as an actual lung. That's key, Fromen said. The model also contains lattice structures to represent the entire volume and surface area of a lung.

The deep learning model, known as Sybil, predicts future lung cancer risk based on a single low-dose chest CT and can identify individuals who would benefit from regular monitoring.
