Vibration Response Imaging: Non-Invasive Diagnosis

Vibration Response Imaging is a new non-invasive pulmonary imaging technology designed to help clinicians diagnose, assess, and treat various respiratory conditions, and may prove to be one of the biggest medical breakthroughs since the development of the ultrasound.

VRI is designed to capture dynamic images which are not currently available using any other lung imaging system. The technology registers vibration response energy generated by air flow inside the tissue of the lungs to create a real-time structural and functional image of the respiration process. It uses passive vibration energy that is naturally created within the body’s organs to produce a dynamic image of the organ. It is real time, and non-invasive and free from radiation. This technology has the potential to be applied to virtually every organ of the body.

Reports from Europe are promising

From Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2010 May;37(5):1185-90. Epub 2010 Feb. A total of 58 subjects with lung cancer underwent evaluation by VRI prior to lung resection surgery and to evaluate postoperative lung function after surgery, and concluded VRI was high accurate, non-invasive and simple to use.
