Description of Requirement:
The Singapore company is a start-up providing medical image analysis solutions. The company has created a new software platform for tumor imaging analysis and is looking for partners to assist in the outsourcing of its solutions. The Singaporean company is currently offering its platform to European partners through an outsourcing agreement.
details:
1. Company Profile
The Singapore-based startup was founded in 2015 by a group of oncology imaging specialists who have worked in institutions and clinical centres in Singapore to develop new solutions to aid in medical image analysis.
They developed a software platform solution for tumor imaging analysis in fMRI analysis, enabling cancer diagnosis. These solutions can also be used to diagnose other diseases, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis.
Compared to current oncology imaging using structural imaging capabilities, their oncology imaging solutions provide important screening, diagnosis, prognostic and monitoring studies and response assessments for patients with solid tumors. For processing dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging data, their Solutions include tracer kinetic models such as distribution parameter models, approximate tissue homogeneity models, conventional compartment models, Tofts models, and extended Tofts models. Solutions also include diffusion-weighted imaging models such as intra-voxel incoherent motion models, diffusion kurtosis imaging models, and stretch index imaging models.
The company was eager to market and outsource its solutions and decided to start with the European market before expanding to the rest of the world. To expand its international presence, the Singapore-based company is currently looking for a European partner to outsource its imaging analysis software platform solutions through outsourcing agreements.
2. Advantages and Innovation
The following are the features and innovations of the software platform solutions developed based on the team's extensive experience in the field of tumor imaging:
1) Dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging analysis
-Pharmacokinetic models are new models in the market and provide distributed parametric models.
- Provides a comprehensive solution for basic pharmacokinetic models.
- Fast results on datasets in minutes.
2) Multiparameter and multimodal imaging analysis.
- Diffusion-weighted imaging
- Diffusion kurtosis imaging
-Dynamic susceptibility contrast imaging
- Arterial spin labeling imaging
Their technique can be used to quantitatively analyze tissue microvascular status in most solid tumors, as well as to diagnose other diseases involving microcirculatory disturbances, such as stroke.
