IMS2 – An integrated medical software system for early lung cancer detection using ion mobility spectrometry data of human breath
Abstract
IMS2 is an Integrated Medical Software system for the analysis of Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) data. It assists medical staff with the following IMS data processing steps: acquisition, visualization, classification, and annotation. IMS2 provides data analysis and interpretation features on the one hand, and also helps to improve the classification by increasing the number of the pre-classified datasets on the other hand. It is designed to facilitate early detection of lung cancer, one of the most common cancer types with one million deaths each year around the world.
