Our mission is to make low-cost portable medical Imaging available to those who need it the most.

Our company, IEMT, has developed and patented technology for a portable, low cost, medical imaging system that, for the first time, can be placed in the hands of first responders and professional practitioners.

This innovative and new approach has the potential to revolutionize the medical imaging market by incorporating technology advances previously untapped for such applications.

The result is a single, safe, portable medical platform that can deliver detailed, full-body images, on site.

This imager will be laptop-sized device. It will have roughly the same physical footprint as a laptop but at least twice the thickness in order to accommodate imaging components. The corresponding weight goal will therefore be approximately 5 lbs. The display is anticipated to be larger than an iPad but with the same image resolution as an iPad. Use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components will ensure high quality and performance, yet low materials cost.

Existing biomedical imaging techniques such as MRI, CAT scans, ultrasonic scans, nuclear medical, terahertz radiation and X-ray all have limitations.

These limitations include, but are not limited to, exposure to ultra-strong magnetic fields and high- energy radiation, application of dyes and tracers, ingestion of imaging agents, invasive procedures as well as physical contact with the subject and confining environments.

IEMT’s technology overcomes these deficiencies and shortcomings simply because our imaging platform operates differently.

Furthermore, existing imaging systems entail significant post-procurement maintenance and calibration costs. The facilities which house such equipment are very specialized, requiring specific construction techniques, shielding, higher power requirements and structural strengthening of floors.

The cost of existing imaging equipment is anywhere between $200,000 and $3,000,000 per unit. IEMT imagers break this price barrier.

Medical imagers are not available to most of those medical professionals who really need them. Potential markets for this technology are:

• EMTs deployed in the field
• Practitioners in remote locations
• Veterinary medicine doctors
• Physicians in rural communities
• First Responders in disaster scenarios
• Military corpsmen deployed in theater
• Private radiological practices
• Regional and community emergency medical services
• Astronauts on space missions

IEMT’s imagers could revolutionize emergency medical care if put into the hands of local EMTs, firefighters, police officers and other first responders deployed to accident sites.

For example, physicians in rural communities would have access to patient imagery that currently is only accessible at a relatively few, select medical institutions such as hospitals. These facilities could be hours away even by medical helicopter. With IEMT’s technology, first responders arriving to serve disaster victims in remote backcountry situations would be able to diagnose internal injuries on site immediately. Realtime imaging data could then be transmitted directly to attending physicians at the medical facility.

With this technology, patients could be diagnosed even before they are admitted. Treatment could begin immediately when patients arrive, saving precious time.

In summary, there exists a very large, underserved worldwide market which will benefit from the type of anytime, anywhere, portable medical imaging platform offered by IEMT.
