Project description
Essential innovation for MRI-guided interventional radiology
MRI scans and imaging technologies play a crucial role in the medical sector, enabling a more precise assessment of patient conditions and guiding subsequent actions. The med-tech company Nano4Imaging (N4I), specialising in MRI-based interventional radiology, has previously developed essential technologies such as EmeryGlide, a critical guidewire used in paediatric cardiology. In collaboration with four significant partners, the EIC-funded TRACKR project is working to develop a new technology based on N4I expertise. This turn-key platform aims to provide specialists with much-needed enabling technologies for MRI-guided interventional radiology. The technology will incorporate a nano-coating platform that can be easily adapted and applied to existing commercial intervention devices, along with real-time tracking software.
Objective
Nano4Imaging (N4I) is a med-tech company specialized in MR based interventional radiology. We have previously successfully commercialized EmeryGlide, a MR compatible guidewire in paediatric cardiology. In this project, we will deliver TRACKR a turn-key platform that provides the currently missing enabling technologies for MRI guided interventional radiology. The TRACKR technology consists of:
a) A NANO-COATING PLATFORM based on proprietary MagnaFy technology. The nano-coatings can be applied on any commercial intervention device (catheter, guide-wire, balloon) and increase MR visibility drastically.
b) A REAL-TIME TRACKING SOFTWARE based on novel deep learning algorithms that allows real-time tracking of the MagnaFy coated devices during an interventional procedure.
The platform will be commercialized as a B2B service to interventional device makers. Four large players (Terumo, B.Braun COOK, Numed) are ongoing collaborators and will be the early adopters.
