Respiratory diseases are a high-impact challenge to life, health, and productive human activity, causing severe illness to hundreds of millions and death to millions worldwide each year and accounting for over 10% of all Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs). Understanding the symptoms and reaching a diagnosis requires several tests and exams which are time-consuming and costly, impacting the outcome.

Doubts frequently arise in medical imaging and often necessitate additional tests. The test results are then discussed in a multidisciplinary meeting where experts evaluate them. The certainty of these conclusions varies, and sometimes, the final assessment can only be made by reevaluating the case retrospectively at a later time.
