SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Minnetronix Medical’s work on a groundbreaking cardio imaging device was recently chronicled in Medical Design Briefs.
The article, co-authored by Minnetronix’s Director of Optics Darcy Hart and Conavi Medical’s Tom Looby, chronicled the process of combining the two major cardiac imaging modalities – intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) – into the The Novasight Hybrid IVUS/OCT System™. The system is the first of its kind in the interventional cardiology field.
From the article:
“Conavi Medical recognized the shortcomings of both options and brought to life the idea of integrating the two distinct capabilities together into one hybrid option. With that goal in mind, Conavi developed its Novasight Hybrid IVUS/OCT System™. The system, which can capture and provide both IVUS and OCT images with the use of a single catheter, is a first dual IVUS OCT device in the interventional cardiology field. Conavi Medical is currently working on a next-generation version of the system, with enhanced features and performance, alongside the optics team at Minnetronix Medical, also Conavi’s manufacturing partner.”
