Development of a Prototype and Commercialization Pathway for the Improved Treatment of Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI)

Periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs) are infections involving an implanted joint prosthesis and surrounding tissue that occur following joint arthroplasties. Management of these infections is challenging and often surgical due to the antibiotic-resistant nature of the biofilm produced by infecting organisms. In 2019-2020, more than 63,000 Total Hip Arthroplasties (THAs) and 75,000 Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKAs) […]

Simple Perfusion Reconstruction Algorithm (SPIRAL) Clinical Research Study

The delivery of stroke treatment requires simple, quick, and accurate imaging to make fast treatment decisions. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is required to identify a large vessel occlusion (LVO) and medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) before removal (recanalization) by tPA and/or endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The CTA can detect where the artery is blocked reliably by an […]
