Aycan and Enspectra partner for clinical trials on cellular imaging system

Radiology workflow and data management company Aycan Medical Systems has expanded into the clinical trials market. 

In a partnership with medical imaging diagnostics company Enspectra Health, Aycan provided imaging data management to support a pivotal clinical trial of Enspectra’s new VIO system. The first-of-its-kind technology visualizes, captures and stores images at the cellular level for more clinically accurate assessments of health. For now, VIO has received FDA clearance for use on skin after the successful proof-of-concept study.

According to a statement, the partnership between the two companies will be ongoing, with Enspectra utilizing Aycan cloud PACS and DICOM image archiving as it looks to conduct more trials to expand applications for VIO. 

Enspectra’s website states its cellular imaging capabilities will have a variety of clinical applications.
