Project title: NON-INVASIVE SHALLOW MECHANICAL TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION

Company name : VESPRO LTD.

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
Medical devices

KEY WORDS
Tissue Characterization,
Acoustics, Mechanics, Vessels, Lesions, Bones, Lungs

PROJECT SUMMARY
The company develops a device and a method for a non-invasive
acoustic-mechanical tissue characterization. Several leading
applications such as the peripheral-vascular system, dermal and
sub-dermal lesions and other applications (i.e. osteoporosis and
pulmonary problems) are considered.
Both device and method can be adapted to a catheter-mounted,
minimally invasive version for the cardiovascular system.

ADVANTAGES
a) A novel device to relay a two-way acoustic-mechanical
transmission into the body as a monostotic measuring station.
b) An acoustic-mechanical response method, that is different from
imaging, making it possible to obtain tissue-characterization
non-invasively.

ENTREPRENEURS
Dr. Itzhak Porat - DSc, a leading
scientist in dynamical mechanics, 4 patents, 15 papers, 17
conferences.
Dr. Yariv Porat - PhD, a
leading scientist in acoustics and its applications in medicine,
14 patents, 12 papers, 17 conferences,
Mr. Daniel Shach - MSc, a
mechanical engineer and project manager with more than 25 years
of experience.

PROJECT STATUS
The project was launched on August 2001.
First successful in-vivo experiment with basic proof of concept.
Successful ex-vivo series of experiments linking physical and
medical data.
Two leading patents under PCT.
Alpha site system ready for hospital testing.

COOPERATION REQUIRED
