Lifesaving technology: Our technology detects tumors as small as 2 millimeters and calcifications as small as 2 microns, allowing for the diagnosis of Stage 0 and 1 cancers before they can spread while they still have a 99%+ five-year survival rate.

Regulatory approval: The US market for breast imaging is preparing for rapid expansion, with 6 dedicated CT CPT codes that went into effect in 2021 providing reimbursements to private and public payers (AMA, CMS).

Seasoned management team with significant fundraising experience: 
We have raised $55 million to date through venture funding, and $2.5 million on Republic.com, demonstrating a proven track record for raising funds. We have signed agreements with several new hospitals and clinics for installations in the upcoming year.
