Lung Function Analysis for Unexplained Shortness of Breath
Setting a new standard. 4DMedical produces software and hardware products that enable new levels of non-invasive, quantitative analysis of lung health. We are creating a new standard in lung function imaging and analyses for lung disorders including unexplained dyspnea (shortness of breath), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis and cancer.
The Challenge with Traditional Imaging
Traditional imaging techniques have been the cornerstone of medical diagnoses for decades. However, when it comes to unexplained dyspnea, these methods can fall short because they:
- Lack Detail: They may not capture the subtle changes in lung function or blood flow.
- Offer Static Images: These methods provide still snapshots, not showing how your lungs work over time or during breathing cycles.
- May Miss Early Signs: Early or mild forms of lung disease can go undetected, delaying essential treatment.
4DMedical’s Software Platforms Provide Physicians with Actionable Information
This cutting-edge software provides actionable insights into lung structure and function by processing traditional imaging and delivering reports with quantitative data.
- Dynamic Visualization: Unlike traditional imaging, XV LVAS captures the movement and function of your lungs as you breathe, offering a dynamic, four-dimensional view.
- Enhanced Detection: This technology can detect subtle changes and abnormalities in lung function at a very early stage, often before symptoms worsen.
- Ventilation Analysis: The software provides detailed data on lung ventilation (how air moves in and out of your lungs), aiding in a more accurate diagnosis.
