“It’s truly an exciting opportunity to join a company like Seno Medical, especially at this juncture in their product life cycle,” said Davis. “The commitment by this team and the company’s technology to improve cancer diagnosis non-invasively and without additional ionizing radiation, make it an exciting time to join such an organization.”
 
The Imagio OA breast imaging system was designed to facilitate the identification of the two functional hallmarks of cancer: the presence of abnormal blood vessels (tumor angiogenesis) and the relative reduction in oxygen content of blood that occurs in cancer compared to benign masses and normal tissues. The technology used by the Imagio system is non-invasive and does not require patient exposure to contrast agents, ionizing radiation (X-ray) or radio-isotopes, which are required for other modalities that are capable of functional imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET).
 
Seno Medical Instruments is a San Antonio, Texas-based medical imaging company developing and commercializing a new modality in cancer diagnosis: opto-acoustic imaging. Seno’s Imagio breast imaging system fuses opto-acoustic technology with ultrasound to generate functional and anatomical images of the breast. The opto-acoustic images provide a unique blood map in and around suspicious breast masses while the ultrasound provides a traditional anatomic image.
