BioScanIR® The most advanced infrared sensors used in Space are now part of the most advanced biomedical infrared imaging system on the planet - the BioScanIR® System:

Detects dynamic changes in blood perfusion in tissue and organs by sensing minute changes in thermal photon flux
Completely non-invasive—no contrast agents, no ionizing radiation used
Fast results—scans in 20 seconds and data reports available in minutes
Low cost—up to 80% less than other functional imaging modalities FDA-Cleared, UL-Certified and CE-Marked
The BioScanIR System is an infrared-based functional imaging system that detects minute changes in blood perfusion through the capture of passively-emitted infrared radiation that is produced by tissue. Through the analysis of this captured radiation, the system can help physicians and researchers differentiate between normal and abnormal tissue. In this fashion, the BioScanIR System can detect diseases and conditions that affect the perfusion or reperfusion of blood in tissue and organs.

The BioScanIR System is totally non-invasive, and does not contact the patient in any way. It uses no radiation, and requires no contrast agent. It can be used by non-imaging specialists, and can be used in a non-sterile, office environment. The BioScanIR System has multiple clinical applications including:

Monitoring response to cancer drug therapy.
Monitoring intervention in diabetic driven peripheral vascular disease.
Identifying perforator vessels during pre-surgical planning, and assessing post-operative perfusion of pedicle flaps following reconstructive surgery (i.e. of the breast).
Mapping of functional cortex in patients undergoing tumor surgery.
Determining cardiac bypass graft patency and perfusion of the myocardium in cardiac surgery.
The BioScanIR System can be used adjunctively with more expensive modalities such as CT, MRI, functional MRI and PET imaging.
