Clarix Imaging raises USD 10M in funding from kineo finance

Chicago-based Clarix Imaging has raised $10 million in funding from kineo finance, a Swiss-based investment firm, to increase production and provide innovative financing solutions to bring its breakthrough technology to healthcare facilities in the United States and eventually international markets.

With the risk of re-excisions of lumpectomies as high as 25% in some hospitals, Clarix Imaging’s Volumetric Specimen Imaging System, based on its unique image reconstruction technology, is a state-of-the-art, point-of-care 3D imaging platform that enables real-time assessment of surgical specimens in the operating room. With the potential to benefit the 300,000 patients diagnosed with breast cancer annually in the US, Clarix Imaging has seen a surge in demand since its commercialization and will use this infusion and an upcoming round of equity financing to fuel growth and development.

Clarix Imaging’s unique image reconstruction technology enables imaging with high isotropic resolution and significantly reduced scan time, allowing Clarix Imaging to create a portable system that seamlessly fits the space and time requirements for use in the operating room workflow – providing surgeons and radiologists with rapid verification that the correct tissue has been removed.
