A new patented technique for virtual
colonoscopy in colon cancer diagnosis and follow-up
Regulatory News:
Intrasense (Paris:ALINS)(FR0011179886 – ALINS), a leader in
multimodal medical imaging software, announces today that it has
been granted a European patent (EP2339538)1 for its invention
allowing the production of filet views with reduced artefacts in
virtual CT colonoscopy.
Virtual colonoscopy is a solution for colon cancer screening and
diagnosis used as an alternative to optical devices, which are more
invasive and expensive. It allows the evaluation of the total colon
lumen without sedation or anesthesia and is a more comfortable
option for patients whenever applicable.
This innovative technology provides a high quality rendering of
the colon for optimized visualization and reliable cancer
screening, diagnosis and follow-up. It streamlines the reading
process and helps look behind the folds of the colon in a single
fly-through exploration.
Myrian® is the ultimate solution for image-based diagnosis and
follow-up in oncology. The new patented technique is soon to be
implemented in Myrian® XP-Colon, allowing reduced interpretation
time, accurate virtual colonoscopy and easy navigation inside the
colon to diagnose cancer and search for polyps.
Colorectal cancer being the third most common cancer in the
world, with nearly 1.4 million new cases diagnosed in 20122, this
patent opens up significant market opportunities, especially as an
increasing number of developed countries have been implementing
early colon cancer screening operations and are progressively
adopting virtual colonoscopy.
Frédéric Banégas, Intrasense chief operating officer,
underlines: “This patent is a new highlight of Intrasense
innovation capabilities. It further demonstrates how the
combination of industrial, clinical and academic backgrounds within
our multidisciplinary team fosters creativity and breakthrough
technology. It is another evidence of the powerful translational
capability of our company, a recognized leader in oncology imaging,
and reinforces our technology portfolio.”
