Technology Modules

Imaging boards and platforms

The board is where the image is made. Ours run a 4K AI image signal processor on a combined NPU and VPU architecture, so noise reduction, wide dynamic range and multispectral fusion happen on the device rather than on a host computer. Resolution, sensor interface, video output and board outline are all open to change.

In production — ECM-4K-ICG, ECM-4K-W, ECM-4K-F-ICG, ECM-2K-W

Fluorescence imaging

Near-infrared fluorescence with ICG shows perfusion and structures that white light does not separate clearly. We combine the fluorescence and white-light signals at pixel level instead of laying one image over the other, and the alignment is calibrated automatically so it holds through assembly variation and over time.

In production — EFM-ICG light source module, ECM-4K-ICG imaging board

Miniature imaging

When the access path sets the limit, the sensor has to shrink with it. We build imaging modules around the smallest sensor formats available, including chip-on-tip assemblies, with the illumination path designed into the same package. Diameter, tip geometry and cable exit follow the procedure.

Image processing and algorithms

Much of what a surgeon needs to see is not in the raw image. We write the algorithms that bring it out: multispectral fusion, wide dynamic range, noise suppression at low light, fluorescence stability, and image orientation control. Algorithms you already own can run on the same platform.

Optics

Objectives, relay systems and illumination paths designed to the specification rather than selected from a catalogue. Most of the image quality is decided here, and miniature designs usually fail here first.

Light sources and illumination

White light, near-infrared, or both from one unit. We set the wavelengths, the coupling and the thermal path so the output stays even at small diameters and stable through a long case.

In production — EFM-ICG, EFM-W

Mechanics and camera heads

Structure, handle form, button layout, cable exit and enclosure design language. A head that balances in the hand and seals for reprocessing is an engineering problem before it is an appearance one.

In production — 4K fluorescence camera head, 4K camera head, each as body and cable set

Consoles, displays and operating room integration

Touch consoles and all-in-one units built around the same boards, with video output, communication protocols and EMC behaviour worked out for the operating room. Open interfaces leave the device able to join the workflow that is already there.

In production — 8-inch and 6-inch camera consoles, 8-inch light source console, Mini 2-in-1, 18.5-inch and 23.8-inch all-in-one units

As they are

A qualified module goes into your product with your branding and enclosure. The fastest route to market.

Changed

A new size, interface, algorithm or appearance on a platform that already works.

In part

One capability taken out on its own and built into a design of yours.
