For years, the only way to confirm what burn pits had done to a veteran's lungs was to cut into them.
That is no longer true, and one of the reasons is coming to the Gala of Valor.
Dr. Andreas Fouras is the founder and CEO of
@4DMedicalXV, the company behind XV Technology — the world's first FDA-cleared respiratory imaging software that turns X-ray sequences into four-dimensional quantitative data, showing in real time how air actually moves through a breathing lung. It began at Monash University in 2005 and took more than fifteen years of clinical research to refine.
What it changes is the thing veterans have been fighting about for two decades: proof. Working with the VA and leading medical centers including Vanderbilt, this technology allows veterans sickened by burn pits to be screened safely, accurately, and without an invasive biopsy. An objective, earlier diagnosis is also a stronger claim — fewer denials, faster treatment, and an invisible wound finally made visible.
Dr. Fouras and 4DMedical have partnered with Burn Pits 360 on national symposia and clinical research to advance this work. It reflects what our co-founder Rosie Torres calls the Trifecta Model: cutting-edge research, transformative technology, and unwavering advocacy, working together.
We are proud to present him with the PACT Act Veterans Champion Award.
October 17, JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country.
Tickets are $400 at
galaofvalor.org — or buy a seat and give a veteran a night out.
