VUNO Med®-Chest X-ray™

VUNO
VUNO Med® Chest X-Ray™ is a deep learning-based screening solution for five major lung diseases - Nodule/Mass, Consolidation, Interstitial Opacity, Pneumothorax, Pleural Effusion - on chest X-ray (PA/AP) images. This algorithm provides information on the presence of the abnormalities, their names, abnormality scores, and locations.
