LungMaps¹Make every breath count

Chronic pulmonary diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) are devastating diseases. These conditions severely impact the lives of patients as their quality of life is decreased. Additionally, the number of fatalities due to chronic lung diseases is twice as high as with lung cancer. Consequently, patients suffering from CF, COPD or CTEPH require constant surveillance and medication. In this context, functional imaging of the lungs is of paramount importance, and currently done by nuclear medicine requiring radioactive tracers.
