New Study Underscores XV Technology’s Power to Detect Hidden Lung Disease

Veterans holding their lungs - color-mapped with XV LVAS®

A major new multi-center study published in Respiratory Research (July 2025) demonstrates that 4DMedical’s X-ray Velocimetry Lung Ventilation Analysis Software (XV LVAS®) can reveal early and subtle forms of small airways disease that are often missed by standard tests like spirometry and CT scans. Researchers from Vanderbilt University, Johns Hopkins, University of Miami, and Alfred Hospital in Melbourne showed that XV technology identifies disease-specific and severity-specific biomarker patterns in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and deployment-related constrictive bronchiolitis (DR-CB)—even when conventional tests appear normal.

Understanding Lung Perfusion: What is it? Why does it matter? And how is it measured?

Perfusion Education

Lung health is essential for overall wellbeing. A key aspect of healthy lungs is their ability to efficiently transfer oxygen into the blood. This process relies on both the flow of air (ventilation) and the flow of blood (perfusion) through the lungs. While ventilation is about how well air moves in and out, perfusion refers to the movement of blood through the lungs’ fine network of blood vessels. Both are crucial, but today we’ll take a closer look at lung perfusion: what it is, when and why it’s measured, and how advanced imaging technologies are enhancing our understanding of it.

Addressing the Challenge of UIP—and IPF Diagnosis: A Conversation with Dr. Chung

Dr Chung Interview - AI for Early UIP Detection

Early identification of Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) and diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) remains a significant challenge in pulmonary medicine. Despite advances in imaging and clinical awareness, the process still requires specialized training and experience that isn’t always readily available—especially in non-urban or resource-limited healthcare settings. This gap can delay diagnosis which critically impacts patient outcomes.

In a recent interview hosted by Brian Casey, editor at The Imaging Wire, Dr. Chung, a leading thoracic radiologist, offers valuable perspective on the complexities associated with UIP identification and the essential role of expert interpretation to achieve accurate diagnoses.

Olympus Launches Emphysema Screening Program Powered by 4DMedical, Expanding Early Diagnosis and Treatment Opportunities

Olympus Announces Full Market Release of AI-Powered Emphysema Screening Program

A new peer-reviewed study published in Respiratory Research confirms that 4DMedical’s CT Lung Ventilation Analysis Software (CT LVAS) provides results comparable to those of the gold standard PET method, as well as two additional research techniques for assessing regional lung function. The findings demonstrate a strong association and agreement between 4DMedical’s CT LVAS and PET-ventilation at the lobar level and comparable correlation at the voxel level. Utilizing routine non-contrast CT scans, CT LVAS generates detailed regional ventilation information. This highlights CT LVAS as a safe and contrast-free modality for functional lung imaging, making it an ideal tool for assessing lung function across a range of respiratory conditions.
