Researchers from the STRaDe group, in collaboration with teams from the Faculty of Information Technology, Brno University of Technology (FIT BUT) and the Department of Pulmonary Diseases and Tuberculosis at the University Hospital Brno, are developing new methods for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory tract and lung diseases.
The aim of the joint project is to create detailed models of selected sections of the airways while exploring possibilities for their accurate measurement based on imaging data. By combining these approaches, physicians will be able to better track how the airways change over time, whether due to natural development or as a result of various diseases, including stenoses of both malignant and benign origin.
Experts from FIT BUT contribute to the project by applying the latest advances in computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. These technologies enable automated analysis of endoscopic and imaging data and bring new possibilities for their use in clinical practice.
The project is another example of successful cooperation between the academic and medical communities, paving the way for modern diagnostic methods and personalized medicine.
This collaboration is formally supported by a memorandum of cooperation between the University Hospital Brno, the bronchoscopy unit of the Department of Pulmonary Diseases and Tuberculosis, and the Faculty of Information Technology at Brno University of Technology, aimed at fostering long-term joint research activities and transferring innovative technologies into healthcare.
