MaxxVision closes investment to launch new mammography product

MaxxVision LLC of Gainsville, Fla., a privately held developer of info-imaging systems, this week announced the closing of its second round of outside investment. The investment agreement signed with Emergent Growth Fund (Gainesville) includes $180,000 in funding for MaxxVision, providing working capital necessary to complete final design of its new iView FeatureFinder imaging device and bring the product to market in December.

iView is a lightweight, portable, handheld imaging device that enables physicians to perceive small, subtle features on mammography film images that may otherwise be overlooked.
