EXHALE

Efficient X-ray Hub Aiding Lung Explorations

This project aims to develop a specialized tool for investigating elemental aspects of chronic lung diseases.

From the VINNOVA project description:
The purpose of this project is to advance understanding and treatment of chronic lung diseases, leading causes of mortality worldwide, by characterizing elements in lung tissue suspected to impact their pathogenesis. The industrial partners TrulyLabs and AnaMar in collaboration with MAX IV, Lung Biology and Correlative Image Processing and Analysis (CIPA) fom Lund University, aim to streamline a workflow of X-ray imaging studies for lung diseases, making these methods more accessible for biomedical companies and clinical researchers.
