4Dx Limited is a medical technology start-up based in Melbourne, Australia, formed to commercialise four-dimensional lung imaging technology, conceived by 4Dx founder Andreas Fouras and initially developed by his research group at Monash University.
4Dx’s core technology, 4DxV, maps the breathing lungs using four dimensional X-ray technology, providing richer functional information, at earlier stages, when intervention is most effective. This proven and patented technology is quantitative, low dose and non-invasive. 4Dx is targeting its technology towards the diagnosis and monitoring of major respiratory conditions, including asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis.
“4Dx is pleased to announce that due to an overwhelming response, the company’s $4 million Series A capital raise closed oversubscribed on 9th December, 2016.
Chairman and CEO Andreas Fouras says, “the domestic investment community has demonstrated a deep understanding of our proposition, and the value inherent in it. We believe this result indicates a very clear acceptance of the need for 21st century diagnostic technology in the medical marketplace”.
The capital raise places a valuation of $36 million on 4Dx Limited. Funds from the Series A investment round will be used to take the company’s first software product to market, including clinical studies to further validate the product, as well as the development and submission of its first application for US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance.”
