The startup develops a medical imaging platform that employs artificial intelligence to enhance pixel density patterns in images, such as mammograms, making subtle abnormalities visually distinct. This technology enables earlier detection of cancer and other tissue abnormalities, improving patient outcomes and overall health.

Problem
Existing medical imaging techniques often fail to reveal subtle tissue abnormalities, leading to delayed diagnoses and potentially impacting patient outcomes, particularly in cases like early-stage cancer or cardiovascular disease. The challenge lies in extracting meaningful information from complex image data without requiring significant infrastructure upgrades or specialized training.
Solution
Imago Systems offers Visual Intelligence™ (VI®), a cloud-based Medical Software as a Service (MSaaS) platform that enhances existing medical imaging processes. The platform utilizes patented algorithms to post-process standard medical images, such as mammograms, angiograms, and ultrasounds, revealing previously unseen patterns and characteristics. By transforming unstructured image data into structured, quantifiable patterns, the software enables clinicians to visualize and characterize tissue abnormalities as small as 1mm, facilitating earlier and more accurate diagnoses. The platform seamlessly integrates with existing DICOM and HIPAA-compliant medical imaging protocols, providing a cost-effective solution without the need to replace legacy imaging equipment.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes radiologists, cardiologists, and other clinicians involved in medical imaging, as well as hospitals, imaging centers, and contract research organizations (CROs).
