Pulmonary Segments

SAN DIEGO — Among patients with COPD, the risk for respiratory and cancer mortality went up with mucus plugging in at least three lung segments, according to research presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference.

The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance to LungQ 3.0.0, an artificial intelligence-based software that identifies different parts of lung anatomy and evaluates lung tissue and fissure completeness, according to a press release.
