| Ubiquity Diagnostics Limited | IT / Engineering | Ubiquity Diagnostics aims to improve current conventional brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) practices and provide new clinical brain MRI solutions through advances in computing algorithms and neuroscience research. MRI is recognized by most clinicians as one of the most valuable medical device innovations because it can detect and characterize pathological tissues with high sensitivity and specificity in an inherently quantitative, multi-parametric, non-invasive and non-ionizing manner. Despite MRI's clear clinical advantages and benefits, its accessibility remains a fundamentally limiting issue. MRI is known to have comparatively long patient scan times (i.e., -6 minutes/scan; -30 minutes/patient), leading to low patient throughput and critical patient backlogs (i.e., -2months wait for general cases). Note that the present focus is on developing solutions for brain imaging as -30% of present MR I scans involve the brain, though these software technologies will be applicable when imaging other organs | 2019 | ||
