Deep Breeze Ltd., a medical device company, manufactures devices for the functional imaging of pulmonary pathologies. It provides VRIxp, a lung imaging system based on vibration response generated by the air passing through the lungs, which records these vibrations and then uses an algorithm to convert the data into images; and VRIxv, which is designed to obtain an optimum view of the mechanically ventilated lungs during the respiratory cycle.  The technology, which some are calling the biggest breakthrough since ultrasound, can be used to diagnose cancer, asthma and other pulmonary diseases. Although the Lung Imging System is available in Israel since early 2009, it was recently approved for use in the US.
