4DMedical Shares Jump After UC San Diego Health Deploys CT:VQ

4DMedical Limited (ASX: 4DX) shares jumped 16% after UC San Diego Health started using its CT:VQ respiratory imaging technology in clinical practice, becoming the fourth major US academic medical centre to adopt the platform since FDA clearance. At the time of writing, this adoption underscores accelerating traction for CT:VQ in cutting-edge pulmonary diagnostics.

What’s Driving the Momentum?

CT:VQ is a contrast-free lung imaging solution that transforms routine chest CT scans into detailed ventilation and perfusion maps without the need for contrast agents or radioactive tracers, making advanced lung function insights more accessible. After earning FDA 510(k) clearance in September 2025, CT:VQ has gradually gained clinical endorsements from leading US institutions. UC San Diego Health’s structured launch — initially at introductory pricing through March 2026 before full commercial terms — marks a significant step in its commercial rollout.

Top Hospitals Lend Weight to CT:VQ

With UC San Diego Health coming on board, CT:VQ is now in use at four leading US academic medical centres, including Stanford University, the University of Miami and the Cleveland Clinic. These institutions are pivotal reference sites in validating and expanding the technology’s footprint across the US healthcare system. That momentum reflects strong confidence in CT:VQ’s potential to set a new standard of care for pulmonary imaging, offering clinicians a high-resolution, efficient alternative to traditional nuclear ventilation–perfusion scans.

What This Means for 4DMedical’s Future

Investors and industry watchers see this clinical endorsement as a strategic win for 4DMedical, with growing adoption signalling broader market acceptance and potential revenue growth. At the time of writing, the company’s stock reaction highlights the market’s optimism about CT:VQ’s commercial prospects and its role in redefining how lung disease is diagnosed and monitored.
