WHAT WE DO
Tactile Imaging
Tactile Imaging is a medical imaging modality translating the sense of touch into a digital image. A set of 2D pressure patterns from surface of deformed soft tissue can be transformed in 3D tactile image which reveals anatomy and elasticity distribution of underlaying objects. Fusion of Tactile with Ultrasound Imaging is possible (see Figure 1).
Area of Focus
The company’s primary area of focus is women healthcare including pelvic diseased conditions, spontaneous preterm delivery and maternal birth trauma. We development innovative techniques that could potentially lead to safe and effective cure.
