Introduction
Vortex Imaging, a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for startups, has developed a medical imaging solution that brings advanced ultrasound capabilities to doctors' offices. By embedding NVIDIA Jetson into a compact ultrasound probe, Vortex Imaging enables high-quality 3D volumetric imaging at the point of care with minimal footprint.
Powerful imaging in the palm of your hand
Vortex Imaging's solution leverages cloud computing to reconstruct 3D images in minutes, providing diagnostic insights where they are needed most. By uploading captured images to the cloud for reconstruction using proprietary algorithms accelerated by GPUs, Vortex Imaging can deliver standardized 3D images based on raw acoustic data, allowing for quantitative tissue property mapping and reliable clinical information.
The solution utilizes Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) technology, which uses the entire wavefield, amplitude, phase, and complex behaviors to generate high-quality images. By developing a method that only requires reflection datasets, Vortex Imaging eliminates the need for transmission data or probe motion, making the imaging process more efficient and cost-effective. Utilizing NVIDIA GPUs for acceleration is ideal for the iterative optimization process of FWI, making it a natural fit for the technology.
Expanding access to imaging
Vortex Imaging aims to make medical imaging more convenient and accessible by providing operator-independent, high-quality datasets that are suitable for training AI tools. By enabling AI-supported clinical decision-making, Vortex Imaging hopes to improve patient outcomes and expand access to diagnostic imaging.
Shaping the future of diagnostics
Through edge processing and scalable GPU compute on the cloud, Vortex Imaging envisions transforming traditional imaging hardware into accurate, accessible, and affordable devices. By utilizing AI-ready data and advanced technology, Vortex Imaging is working towards a future where diagnostic imaging is faster, more convenient, and more effective for practitioners in the field.
