Aventyn and Adolesco introduce mobile 3D imaging solution

Monday 3rd March 2008

Aventyn, in partnership with Swedish firm Adolesco AB, are to introduce the Cardiotom, a mobile 3D clinical imaging solution.

Aventyn, an innovative provider of connected clinical information processing solutions, made the announcement at the HIMSS Health IT Conference last week in Orlando, Florida.

The Cardiotom is a mobile tomographic gamma camera unit that can be positioned and used at hospital wards without moving or interfering with the patient’s safety and comfort.

Adolesco is the company behind the innovative Cardiotom product. The system was created by researchers from Karolinska Hospital, Karolinska institute, Novum and KTH in Stockholm, Sweden.

Image acquisition time is approximately two minutes with the entire process from radionuclide injection to final results taking less than 10 minutes.

The novel design allows for rapid unpacking and deployment by connecting the unit to a wall socket thereby reducing installation time and maintenance cost.

The fact it is mobile makes the solution ideal for use in the emergency room for cardiac stress testing as well as for intensive care requirements following cardiac surgery.
Aventyn said that the Cardiotom had demonstrated clear benefits to clinicians and patients at the Karolinska and Huddinge University hospitals, Stockholm by successfully completing more than 600 myocardial and cerebral perfusion studies.

This mutually-beneficial partnership created a synergistic link between Adolesco and Aventyn with its connected CLIP clinical information solution.

Furthermore, Aventyn’s global presence, particularly in India, with a very high-demand for mobile clinical solutions will work to accelerate the Cardiotom’s adoption rates.
Aventyn will specifically configure custom solutions for health care customers and provide ongoing support along with its CLIP clinical solution.

“We are very excited to partner with Adolesco on this revolutionary product,” said Navin Govind, CEO at Aventyn.

“The flexible mobile form factor will allow hospitals and physician offices faster access to clinical information to save lives and improve health care efficiency.”

Nils-Arne Lindqvist, CEO Adolesco AB, said: "This is a key relationship for Adolesco. With Aventyn’s strong regional presence we will be able to provide our newest clients an advanced, yet affordable clinical solution that meets our mutual health care customers' immediate needs.”
