Area of Science:

Medical Diagnostics
Oncology
Pulmonology

Background:

Electrical impedance analysis (EIA) leverages differences in electrical properties between cancerous and benign tissues.
Pulmonary lesions require accurate diagnostic methods for timely and effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of EIA in diagnosing pulmonary lesions.
To determine the diagnostic performance of EIA in a prospective, multicenter study.

Main Methods:

A prospective, multicenter study involving patients with pulmonary lesions.
Electrical impedance analysis (EIA) was performed to obtain a Prolung Index (PI).
Classification thresholds were validated in analytical and clinical datasets, with final diagnoses confirmed by histology and follow-up.

Main Results:

The clinical validation set included 418 patients, with sensitivity at 84% and specificity at 74%.
The diagnostic yield was 79%, with no significant differences based on patient demographics or lesion characteristics.
The safety evaluation showed no adverse events related to the EIA procedure.

Conclusions:

Electrical impedance analysis (EIA) is a safe and efficient tool for pulmonary lesion risk stratification.
EIA demonstrates significant potential for improving the diagnosis of suspicious lung lesions.
