Medical imaging software developer MeVis Medical Solutions has released its Visia CT Lung computer-aided detection (CAD) system.
Visia CT Lung provides tools such as lung nodule CAD for automatic detection of actionable lung nodules, AutoPoint temporal comparison for automatic registration of serial chest CT exams, and pulmonary artery analysis, according to the Pewaukee, WI, vendor. It's also compatible with all major CT system vendors and has the ability to display CAD results directly on enterprise PACS workstations or on optional Visia or select third-party workstations, MeVis said.
Visia CT Lung is the first product introduced in the U.S. under MeVis' own brand name. Invivo has been signed on as a Visia sales and marketing partner.
The introduction follows the recent acquisition by MeVis of the CT business of R2 Technology in April.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
