Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Florida university to collaborate on breast cancer imaging device

By Lisa Kerner

Charlotte, N.C., July 10 - Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. said it entered into a collaborative agreement with Florida International University's Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) to support portions of its proprietary Computed Tomography Laser Mammography (CTLM) to be used as an adjunct to mammography.

"Our Optical Imaging Laboratory at FIU is excited to collaborate with IDSI, as our common goal is breast cancer diagnostic imaging using optical tools," director of the BME Optical Imaging Laboratory Anuradha Godavarty said in a company news release.

"Having an industry collaborator is vital toward the translation of the technology from academic research."

IDSI is seeking Premarket Approval from the Food and Drug Administration for its non-invasive CTLM system, which uses laser technology and patented algorithms to create 3-D images of the breast.

Based in Plantation, Fla., IDSI developed the CTLM aid in the detection and management of breast cancer.
