“Novel imaging technologies to identify and monitor patients with pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) are needed.”

One of these new technologies, Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI), creates an image of the minute details of lung vasculature, which can serve as a surrogate readout of what’s happening in the hearts of patients with PVD. In the context of PVD, FRI may be a useful tool throughout the patient journey – for early identification of disease, as a diagnostic instrument, and as a monitoring tool during treatment. Taken together, FRI has the potential to be a true imaging technique to monitor disease-modification for PVD.

Dr. Mardi Gomberg is a cardiologist and Professor of Medicine
at the George Washington University School of Medicine &
Health Sciences.
