Clarix Imaging announced that it secured $10 million in funding to support its volumetric specimen imaging system.
The state-of-the-art, point-of-care 3D imaging platform enables the real-time assessment of surgical specimens in the operating room. Its uses include oncology, with the potential to benefit the 300,000 patients diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. each year.
Clarix said in a news release that it’s seen a surge in demand for its platform since commercialization. It plans to use the funds from Kineo Finance, plus an upcoming equity financing round, to foster growth and development.
The Clarix platform utilizes unique image reconstruction technology for imaging at high, isotropic resolution with significantly reduced scan time.
