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.
Emerging AI Mammography Model May Enhance Clarity for Initial BI-RADS 3 and 4 Classifications
May 21st 2025In a study involving over 12,000 Asian women, researchers found that an artificial intelligence (AI) model converted over 83 percent of false positives in patients with initial BI-RADS 3 and 4 assessments into benign BI-RADS categories.
Can Emerging AI Software Offer Detection of CAD on CCTA on Par with Radiologists?
May 14th 2025In a study involving over 1,000 patients who had coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) exams, AI software demonstrated a 90 percent AUC for assessments of cases > CAD-RADS 3 and 4A and had a 98 percent NPV for obstructive coronary artery disease.
