Caption: Representative images show emphysema and functional lung maps derived by CT and PREFUL-MRI: (A–C) CT-derived emphysema images, (D–F) perfusion maps, (G–I) regional ventilation maps, (J–L) flow-volume loop correlation metric maps, (M–O) ventilation/perfusion combined parameter maps. (A, D, G, J, M) Images in a 63-year-old male with normal spirometry: FEV1%pred = 89.0%, FEV1/FVC = 0.73; emphysema percentage = 0.2%, QDP = 7%, VDPRVent = 2%, VDPFVL-CM = 1%. (B, E, H, K, N) Images in a 65-year-old female with PRISm + RP: FEV1%pred = 71.2%, FVC %pred = 76.8%, FEV1/FVC = 0.76; emphysema percentage = 4.7%, QDP = 10%, VD-PRVent = 18%, VDPFVL-CM = 6%. (C, F, I, L, O) Images in a 57-year-old male with AO: FEV1%pred = 56.8%, FEV1/FVC = 0.52; emphysema = 11.1%, QDP = 31%, VDPRVent = 33%, VDPFVL-CM = 41%. AO = airflow obstruction, FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FVC = forced vital capacity, FVL-CM = flow-volume loop correlation metric, %pred = percent predicted, PREFUL = phase-resolved function lung, PRISm = preserved ratio impaired spirometry, QDP = perfusion defect percentage, RVent = regional ventilation, VDP = ventilation defect percentage.
AI detects lung cancer nodules well but shows low specificity
By Kate Madden Yee
The finding suggests the models offer “a potential role as adjunctive tools for ruling out malignancy” rather than classifying it.
