4DMedical has received FDA clearance for its CT:VQ software, a significant advancement in lung imaging that offers a radiation-free, non-contrast alternative to traditional nuclear V/Q scans. This innovative technology utilizes existing CT infrastructure to create high-resolution lung imaging, potentially transforming the $1.1 billion U.S. V/Q scan market by consolidating the multiple step nuclear procedures into a single scan, thereby reducing costs and increasing accessibility, especially for smaller hospitals. The company’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, with gross margins exceeding 90% and an average reimbursement rate of $1,150 per scan, positions it to capture a substantial share of the market, with potential annual revenues exceeding $1.1 billion if fully adopted. Despite promising early adoption rates and collaborations with entities like Philips, challenges such as entrenched workflows and reimbursement issues could impede broader acceptance. Overall, the global respiratory diagnostics market is expected to expand from $6.02 billion in 2025 to $7.24 billion by 2030, and 4DMedical’s CT:VQ is poised to be a key player in leveraging this growth. The company's financial trajectory appears optimistic, projecting significantly increasing revenues in the coming years, although it must navigate various hurdles to ensure continued success.
