Description:
Near Infrared Imaging is a joint venture with UCLA.
Near Infrared Imaging is bringing together brilliant scientists and the most advanced research in order to develop a revolutionary, hand-held, non-radiation, “malignant cancer detecting” and “brain injury detecting” near infrared (NIR) camera. The images are scanned in “real time” and transmitted in 3D to a physician or hospital.
With our patented algorithm (Patent #5,694,938) developed by world renown scientists at UCLA's School of Medicine, we will soon have the premier brain injury scanner on the market.
What makes our business unique and effective? We are portable to the patient and radiation free.
“Radiation from CT scans done in just one year will cause 29,000 cancers in cancer-free patients and kill nearly 15,000 Americans,” researchers said Monday, December 14, 2009 (Archives of Internal Medicine).
The NIR Image 2700 detects the presence, size, shape and location of bleeding in the brain in “real time.” It can be used in a snowstorm at the scene of a car accident, on the desert battlefield with military combatants, on the Little League field or in ambulance.
The NIR Image 2700 also provides for:
• Detection of malignant breast tumors when they are 2mm, or 1/16th (.06) of an inch
• Detection of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC)
• Continuous bedside monitoring of newborns while in the Intensive Care Unit, stroke victims and patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Detection of high levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream that have been linked to stroke, heart disease and other life threatening diseases.
Assuming just 10% of the hospitals/physicians/clinics in the top 15 most populous countries purchase one (1) NIR Image 2700, which equates to $10 Billion in revenues.
