SENO MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS OPTO-ACOUSTIC SYSTEMS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING AND TOMOGRAPHY Alexander A. Oraevsky, Ph.D. Chief Scientific Officer, Seno Medical Instruments
OPTO-ACOUSTIC IMAGING TECHNOLOGY • Disruptive Technology for Unmet Needs • Multibillion Dollar Market • Platform for Multiple Follow-on Applications • Science Validated • Intellectual Property Protected Globally • Experienced Medical Device Management Team • Seeking Investment, Strategic Partners and Licensing Opportunities
WHAT IS OPTO-ACOUSTIC IMAGING ? • OA is a Natural Fusion of Optical Imaging (that provides high contrast) and Acoustic Imaging (that provides high resolution). OA allows to see under the skin in the depth of tissue based on detection of ultrasound waves generated through absorption of light • Opto-Acoustic Imaging is Disruptive Technology: • New medical information - maps of blood distribution in tissues and its oxygen saturation • First new functional imaging technology in 30 years: no contrast agents or ionizing radiation
VALIDATION OF SCIENCE PRE-CLINICAL IMAGING IN ANIMALS: BRIDGE TO CLINIC blood vessels Mouse organs micro-vasculature >$10M in US Government funding; >$30M for academic research worldwide
