    About VIDA: VIDA provides AI-powered chest CT analysis to profile/manage a patient with, or at-risk of, respiratory diseases. Their software automatically quantifies lung density and visualizes airways. They do this using a topographic MPR technique that samples/projects many non-overlapping airways onto a single image. This method delivers global airway information, at higher resolution, without losing context to the  surrounding tissue. Their platform also provides per-procedural pat  planning, intra-procedural guidance (virtual bronchoscopy), lung cancer  resection (LCR) evaluations and lung volume analysis reports.
