Treatment outcome prediction for lung volume reduction procedures

A system for predicting an outcome of a lung procedure for a patient comprising:

• a processor;
• programing operable on the processor for predicting the outcome of the lung procedure;
• wherein predicting the outcome of the lung procedure comprises:
• receiving patient data comprising volumetric images of the patient;
• analyzing the volumetric images to identify lobes and airway tree of the lungs;
• analyzing the volumetric images to identify one or more features correlated to treatment outcome prediction, wherein the one or more identified features comprises at least one measurement related to lung parenchyma, airways in the lung, pulmonary vessels, and/or one or more lobar fissures;
• receiving a selected treatment location within the airway tree;
• predicting an outcome for a treatment modality or treatment device at the selected location using the one or more identified features;
• and
• generating data representing text and/or imagery of the predicted outcome.
