LG presents first software with Artificial Intelligence

LG has presented in Spain, in collaboration with Vuno, the first software to perform more agile X-ray diagnoses through artificial intelligence and thus quickly detect anomalies in chest X-rays, reducing the time it takes to read the images.

The software developed by LG provides a more efficient way to generate and analyze X-ray images, according to the company in a statement sent to Europa Press. The intelligent algorithm, designed for large hospitals and clinics, is scientifically proven by Vuno and allows medical staff to view the original X-rays and the images analyzed by artificial intelligence at the same time, to diagnose lung diseases such as tuberculosis, pneumonia or lung cancer.

This new incorporation adds to the launch of a new model of flat panel digital detector (DXD) for X-ray detection with oxide panel, a wireless device for radiological studies that complements the existing equipment catalog and is integrated into the rest of the solutions for the health sector of the Korean brand.

The new LG DXD can analyze X-rays, previously by artificial intelligence, to detect interstitial opacity, consolidation, pneumothorax, pleural effusion and nodule/mass, and then inform the medical expert of any abnormalities and provide a clear image of the detected lesion.

Five years of LG in the health sector

The launch of this new device comes just as LG celebrates five years in Spain offering devices for medical use. With an IP68 rating, the new DXD is safe to use in conditions where dusty and wet areas exist. Additionally, having an eight-hour battery life offers easy portability.

The Korean brand is also betting on high-resolution diagnostic monitors for even more precise viewing of images in fields such as breast cancer detection or digitization of pathological anatomy.

In this sense, LG offers new facilities such as the multi-resolution mode with sizes of more than 30 inches, which makes it possible to replace the need for two screens with a single device, with the consequent savings in platform management. Its 12MP resolution reproduces images in a stable way and with high quality to reduce the possibility of errors in the diagnostic process and in the case of digital pathology, to have an image on the screen similar to that offered by high-tech microscopes.
