Extent Medical Imaging, LLC
Optic Polarization Tractography (OPT) allows for fast, non-destructive, and cost-effective detection of fiber disorganization in tissues, which is a common indication of abnormality or disease. Devices developed with OPT are applicable in both research and clinical environments. OPT will enable its users to generate 3D, depth-resolved visualizations of fibrous tissues in real time and without compromising the sample. Ideal targets for tissue imaging include muscle, cardiovascular (heart & arterial), cartilage, neural, and collagen-rich tissues
