Brief summary

The trial was designed as a single-centre, non-interventional prospective observational study to utilize deep learning technology combined with computed tomography (CT) images to precisely predict the pulmonary function indicators of thoracic surgery preoperative patients.

Detailed description

Preoperative pulmonary function tests are crucial in assessing perioperative complications or mortality risks and providing decision support for thoracic surgery. However, traditional pulmonary function assessment methods have significant limitations, including long testing durations, difficulties in patient cooperation, high false-negative rates, and numerous contraindications. Thus, our study optimized the final model based on 1500 single inspiratory phase CTs by transferring model parameters trained on 500 dual-phase respiratory CTs, enhancing its predictive capabilities for pulmonary function. This adjustment suits real-world application demands, offering more convenient, comprehensive, and personalized preoperative pulmonary function assessment support.
