Imagin Medical

Imagin Medical, a surgical imaging company, is focusing on bladder cancer, the sixth most prevalent cancer in the U.S. and the third most common cancer in men. It is the most expensive form of cancer to treat over the lifetime of a patient because the cancer will return in more than 50% of cases. Approximately 600,000 people are living with that fear in the U.S. today. It is estimated that in 2021, 83,000 new cases of bladder cancer will be diagnosed, and more than 17,000 deaths will occur. The conventional method of diagnosing bladder cancer uses white light to illuminate the bladder and is used in 90% of cystoscopy procedures today. This technology has been used for decades and its limitations in visualizing tumor margins and flat cancerous cells that result in high recurrence rates have been well documented.
