The Singapore-based start-up company was founded in 2015 by a group of oncology imaging experts who previously worked for a Singapore government agency and a clinical center, and they have developed new solutions to aid medical imaging analytics.
They have lately developed a software platform solution for oncology imaging analytics in functional magnetic resonance imaging analytics, which allows for precise cancer diagnosis. These solutions can also be used to diagnose other diseases such as stroke and multiple sclerosis.
In comparison to current oncology imaging, which uses only structure imaging features, their oncologic imaging solutions provide a comprehensive overview of the most important screening, diagnostic, prognosis, and surveillance studies for patients with solid tumors, as well as treatment response assessment.
For processing dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging data, their solutions include tracer kinetic models such as distributed parameter models, approximated tissue homogeneity models, conventional compartment models, Tofts models, and extended Tofts models. The solutions also include diffusion-weighted imaging models such as the intravoxel incoherent motion model, the diffusion kurtosis imaging model, and the stretched exponential imaging model.
The company is eager to promote and outsource its solutions and has decided to begin 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 European partners to outsource their imaging analytics software platform solutions through an outsourcing agreement.
Advantages & innovations
The following are the features and innovations of the software platform solutions developed, based on the team's extensive experience in the field of oncology imaging:
1) Analytics for dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging
- The most recent pharmacokinetic model is new to the market and provides a distributed parameter model.
- Comprehensive solutions that provide the basic pharmacokinetic models.
- Rapid results that take only minutes to process a data set.
2) Analytics for multi-parametric and multi-modality imaging.
- Diffusion weighted imaging
- Diffusion kurtosis imaging
- Dynamic susceptibility contrast imaging
- Arterial spin labelling imaging
Their cutting-edge technology is one of the lastest solutions in the industry for quantitatively analysing the condition of tissue micro vascularity in most solid tumors, as well as diagnosing other diseases involving microcirculation disturbances such as stroke.

Partner sought
The Singapore-based company is looking for potential European partners who can provide their image analytics software platform solutions to private or public health centres, hospitals, clinics, patient associations, pharmaceutical companies, and rehabilitation facilities. An outsourcing agreement will be used to establish the partnership. They will also provide technical and teaching support to the potential partner and the clients.
