FDA Clears Advanced Lung Nodule Assessment Software for CT Scans
The AI-powered qCT LN Quant software reportedly generates 2D and 3D reconstructions and facilitates assessment of morphologic data across multiple thoracic studies.
Offering advanced quantitative evaluation of solid lung nodules, the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software qCT LN Quant has garnered 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In addition to providing short-axis, long-axis and average diameter measurements of lung nodules, the qCT LN Quant software enables radiologists to determine estimated volume doubling time and assess nodule tracking for multiple thoracic studies, according to Qure.ai, the developer of qCT LN Quant.

The company also points out that qCT LN Quant provides Brock malignancy risk scoring, 2D and 3D image reconstructions and management suggestions based on Fleischner Society guidelines.
“(qCT LN Quant is) the next stage solution in the AI-optimized patient pathway to evaluate lung nodules on at-risk patient CT scans, giving precise quantitative characterization, plus tracking volumetric growth over time,” noted Bhargava Reddy, the chief business officer of oncology at Qure.ai.
In regard to reimbursement for use of qCT LN Quant, Qure.ai said the software is “potentially eligible” for the 3D reconstruction CPT code as well as the CPT 0722T code for tissue quantification.
Could AI-Powered Abbreviated MRI Reinvent Detection for Structural Abnormalities of the Knee?
April 24th 2025Employing deep learning image reconstruction, parallel imaging and multi-slice acceleration in a sub-five-minute 3T knee MRI, researchers noted 100 percent sensitivity and 99 percent specificity for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.
What is the Best Use of AI in CT Lung Cancer Screening?
April 18th 2025In comparison to radiologist assessment, the use of AI to pre-screen patients with low-dose CT lung cancer screening provided a 12 percent reduction in mean interpretation time with a slight increase in specificity and a slight decrease in the recall rate, according to new research.
