GCM’s technology can improve sensitivity in imaging and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) systems like Ultrasound, CT, MRI,
Infrared imaging and spectroscopy and in non-invasive analysis. IVDs are medical devices that analyze human body
fluids, such as blood or urine, to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.
The use of Infrared systems together with OTDM will improve sensitivity in diagnostics allowing quicker than ever
and non-invasive diagnostic systems. The goal of GCM is to develop the technology to build the most advanced
non-invasive diagnostic systems and license it to main players in this market. Nowadays problems of imaging and
diagnostic systems are: Emission of X-ray and other radiations is dangerous. The use of contrast products can
influence the patient’s health. The sensitivity and artifacts reduce the effectiveness of diagnostics. The high
cost and difficulty of portability of equipments reducing the access to this equipment to development countries.
All these issues can be coped with GCM’s technology.
Ultrasound, 3D ultrasound and magnetic resonance (MRI)
GCM’s technology inception was in airborne ultrasonics. Direct application to human tissues is an advantage. In fact a product for direct acquisition of 3D real time ultrasonic images should be the first and fastest way toward the recognition of better performance than ever medical images. Using the properties of this technology, impressive resolution and definition results will be obtained allowing better and faster diagnostics with resolutions similar to CT or MRI at a lower cost. Further, the ability to adapt old equipments to our technology makes this a good option to be addressed as a first medical application. Magnetic Resonance enhancement is another possible and time to market application due to the inherent increase in sensitivity of GCM’s technology. Patients are very concern about the fact of making RMI in tight closed cylinders where they feel claustrophobic. Open MRI devices with higher than ever sensitivity and resolution, and faster results will make this an easy to use diagnostic technique without the need of using neither radio contrasts nor dangerous radiations.
Image enhancement
Infrared Imaging, Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) and IVD systems
There are many projects in the world trying to build a non-invasive glucometer and other likewise devices. Technology is there but not in the market shelves. One of the main problems to sell personal IVD devices based on non-invasive IR techniques are the need of dangerous IR laser sources that can produce eyes and tissue damage. Same concepts applied to ultrasonics can be applied to Infrared Imaging and In-Vitro Diagnostic Systems where a non-invasive device to control glucose without using high power laser sources should facilitate its worldwide acceptation reducing power to acceptable levels. IR and NQR for medical imaging is also an emerging market as it has minimal danger on the patient, nevertheless the high sensitivity needed is a major handicap of these techniques that can be solved.
