Interpertation - Image by the VRIxp™ Device:
 Features of a normal image
 No asynchronism in the movement of
vibration energy,
Consistent equal progression of both
lungs (normally shaped)
Even distribution of vibration energy.
Pulmonary Function Test (PFT): FEV1 144%

Interpertation - Image by the VRIxp™ Device:
Differs to what is expected in comlpetely
normal individual
Asynchronism in the movement of
vibration energy,
Progression of the right lung in Frames 2-
4 shows specific weakness in the right
middle and lower area
The entire right lung has lower intensity
and has a smaller area of vibration
energy.
Pulmonary Function Test (PFT): FEV1 115%

| Explanation: the abnormal findings of this individual can represent early changes of lung function that is not always evident in PFT’s. Futhermore, these prominent abnormalities are consistent to that of known COPD patients. |
