Clinical research with Quest Spectrum products

Are you thinking of using the Quest Spectrum products for your clinical research study? That is great! However, before you start please make sure you are gathering qualitative data for your study. This might entail some changes in the system settings to allow for data comparison. Please contact us to get in touch with our experts, they are happy to advise you.

Preclinical use


Our camera systems have numerous properties that make them a good solution for preclinical studies.

 

  • Large ani­mal visualization
  • Simul­ta­ne­ous high-resolution RGB and VIS/NIR imag­ing
  • Images from the different channels are stored separately
  • Laparo­scopic and open visualization usages
  • No need to put the object in a box
  • Not hampered by ambient fluorescent tube lights
  • Visualization of two dyes may be done simultaneously
  • Cell level sensitivity

Available technologies

Together with Quest Innovations we develop devices for the medical field. We do not see this as only a technical challenge to build an excellent camera. It is our goal to create the cleanest and most useful data possible for the user. We therefore put a lot of effort in the development of general and more specialized applications that assist in the interpretation of your data.

Hyperspectral Imaging

Our spectral snapshot imaging camera allows you to acquire spectral information in the visible and near-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Together with a high-resolution RGB image the camera allows you to image the spectral information in combination with a realistic color image for better orientation and image registration.

Artificial Intelligence

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are key components of the Quest Spectrum Platform. Machine learning allows for the analysis and compilation of all evaluated patients. Then in the case of assessing tissue viability, artificial intelligence will enable the ability to predict which tissue will live versus die.

Projects

Quest Medical Imaging participates in several innovation programs where we work with other companies from the public sector and (research) institutes from the private sector. By participating in these consortia we have the opportunity to combine excellent science with industrial leadership. This enables us to tackle societal challenges and bring scientific breakthroughs from the lab to the marketplace.

An example of the projects we are working on at the moment is shown below. If you are interested in participating with us in upcoming projects, please contact us.
