1 Introduction Lung transplantation (LTx) is an increasingly utilized treatment option for end-stage pulmonary diseases, with over 4600 transplants performed each year [1]. Access to LTx, however, has not been entirely equitable, with several studies showing disparities in the areas of gender, race, and socioeconomic status among patients already placed on the LTx waitlist [2-6].

Abstract Segmented Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) leads enable current steering in specific directions, but this comes with an increased level of programming complexity. Precise measurement of lead orientation is crucial for facilitating stimulation programming. Presently employed methods involve radiation technology posing inherent risks and limitations. Additionally, the potential rotation of leads post-implantation may require repeated measurements.
