Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) is the first hospital in Tennessee to introduce Optellum’s Virtual Nodule Clinic. The world-leading hospital was one of the first to conduct clinical trials of the software, under the leadership of the late Pierre Massion, which were published in the Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in 2020.

The Vanderbilt Lung Institute, along with the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, and the Lung Cancer Screening Program led by the Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, is now deploying the commercial software as part of its comprehensive care program to prevent, detect and treat lung cancer.

Lung cancer kills more people each year than any other cancer, and early detection is crucial to treatment and survival. Moreover, lung nodules are especially present in Tennessee due to a fungus called histoplasmosis. Most are not cancer, but it’s critical to detect the ones that are.

“That’s what this Optellum software will do. We are making a difference. Survival has improved. We think that has a lot to do with screening and early diagnosis.”
Otis Rickman, DO, Director of Interventional Pulmonology for the Vanderbilt Lung Institute.
