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.”
