without any doubt, there are a lot of ways that the approach to getting this cleared and monetized could have been better in the past. it didn't happen PRECISELY because the guy in charge was naive about comparing this technology to c-arm and the relative ease of getting those systems cleared in the past. in reality, this is only partially comparable to standard fluoroscopy. and then he went on to make silly, fraudulent claims and tanked the company.
i don't know whether the company is working towards a joint venture or not, but neither does anyone else. i'm sure they won't say.
but the technology is real, it's cone beam CT. anyone interested in this company should read up on that.
there are a few things that have changed now. i pointed some of them out.
one thing i didn't mention is that the market and even the FDA seems to have more interest in applications of this technology than years ago. there is plenty out there about that. there is even a slide deck from the FDA about this which anyone can read. it's from a couple of years ago, well after this company made their fda submissions. it is a very good read.
the major claims this company makes are around the speed of their transforms, radiation, portability, image quality, etc. from the tech perspective, these are really the claims of interest. the company quotes transform speeds which are next level if true.
part of what i do relies on stuff like this. mark my words, the first company to get a decent system out there, with reasonable cost, low maintenance, low radiation, portability, and so on will definitely redefine this market.
