AI-Based Analysis of Dynamic Digital Radiography Data Gives Researchers Greater Insight into Lung Function and Pulmonary Disorders
This AI-powered technique provides a reliable alternative to pulmonary function tests (PFTs), which have limited assessment capabilities and can be difficult for some patients with pulmonary disorders to complete.

- Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai ("Icahn Mount Sinai") used Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) data, an X-ray imaging technology developed by Konica Minolta, to create their AI-powered technique that analyzes lung function.
- PFTs and chest radiography are both typically utilized for the evaluation of pulmonary disorders and respiratory function; however, these tools offer a static assessment.
- “DDR is a much easier method to capture lung function and it provides more clinical data than PFT alone.
