PET scans help doctors detect inflammation and tumors at an early stage. This imaging technique involves injecting a mildly radioactive substance into the body. However, the associated radiation poses some risk to the patient. Ghent-based Nuclivision has developed a technology that requires less radioactive material for such scans.
"Our solution is based on recent advancements in deep learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence, applied to medical imaging," says engineer and CEO Maarten Larmuseau. "We currently have competitors in the U.S. and Asia, but our technology is the most recent. With this, we aim to meet the specific needs of nuclear medicine in Europe."
"Our solution has been tested for some time in hospitals in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. In a few months, we expect to obtain CE certification, which will allow us to commercialize our solution across Europe. This is crucial because, given the small Belgian market, Nuclivision must expand internationally."
"COO Tomas Brants and I founded Nuclivision in September 2022. Six months later, we were joined by CTO Simon DeKeyser. The company was co-founded by professors and medical experts in nuclear medicine and medical imaging, providing us with strong expertise and industry connections."
"We are part of the imec.istart and Start it@KBC accelerator programs, as well as the Wintercircus technology hub. Through imec.istart and the Lumiares fund, we secured pre-seed funding. Additionally, VLAIO has supported us in improving our product through targeted scientific research."
