  1. MARS Bioimaging Ltd spectral CT for biomedical imaging Anthony Butler www.marsbioimaing.com

  2. Overview Founded 2008: Spin out of University of Canterbury Exclusive licence for CERN Medipix3 detector technology Own all IP relating spectral CT from the university Products: MARS scanners: Medipix3 based microCT system MARS camera: Medipix3 detector and readout for integration into 3rd party CTs

  3. Technology and its uses

  4. Spectral CT is now possible Medipix All Resolution System Energy resolution Spatial resolution Temporal resolution MARS spectral CT Xray source Medipix Color detectors

  5. Low GAG Cartilage Bone

  6. MBI Products

  7. MARS scanner microCT for small animal and pathology researcher

  8. MARS Medipix3 camera Medipix3 camera system for integration into 3rd party systems Up to 8 Simultaneous energies 55µm or 110 µm pixel pitch resolution 1 to 6 Medipix chips (28x52mm array) Silicon or CdTe/CZT Excellent energy resolution ( Charge sharing compensation ) Image of PCB taken with Medipix3 Si-quad, 28x28mm

  9. MBI Company information

  10. Market strategy • Get MARS systems to key opinion leader’s labs • Enable researchers using MARS tool to validate spectral CT • Provide camera units for existing pre-clinical manufacturers to integrate into their systems • Leverage pre-clinical adoption to find partner for human imaging

  11. MARS project structure • MARS is the technology • MARS Bioimaging Ltd • aka. “MBI” • Commercial outlet for NZ’s R+D • Research teams • University of Canterbury • University of Otago

  12. MARS project structure • MARS Bioimaging Ltd • aka. “MBI” • Commercial outlet for NZ’s R+D • Shareholders • University of Canterbury • Individual scientist • Private investors

  13. MARS IP structure MARS Bioimaging Ltd Exclusive license for small animal and human CT All IP relating to spectral CT technology University of Canterbury Medipix3 Collaboration Sub-contract for pre-clinical research University of Otago

  14. MARS Funding structure Investment MARS Bioimaging Ltd University of Canterbury Medipix3 Collaboration University of Otago

  15. MARS Funding structure Sales Investment MARS Bioimaging Ltd University of Canterbury Medipix3 Collaboration University of Otago

  16. MARS Funding structure Sales Investment MARS Bioimaging Ltd Contribution to Medipix3 development Scholarship funding University of Canterbury Medipix3 Collaboration University of Otago

  17. MARS Funding structure Sales Investment MARS Bioimaging Ltd Contribution to Medipix3 development Scholarship funding University of Canterbury Medipix3 Collaboration NZ government funding University of Otago

  18. Why would a researcher do this?

  19. Government instruction 80% of NZ government funding is aimed at economic return • Key concept is international revenue • Want a route to market early in an R+D program

  20. Benefit to research • Provides direction and focus • Get the technology into users hands early • Provides new funding routes

  21. Personal • Satisfaction – your research is used!!! • New challenges

  22. Personal • Satisfaction – your research is used!!! • New challenges • Potential for financial gain… …. but I’m a radiologist!!

  23. Summary • MARS-CT make spectral CT possible • Early adopters already purchasing www.marsbioimaging.com
