An imaging biomarker is a biologic feature, or biomarker detectable in an image. In medicine, an imaging biomarker is a feature of an image relevant to a patient's diagnosis. For example, a number of biomarkers are frequently used to determine risk of lung cancer. First, a simple lesion in the lung detected by X-ray, CT, or MRI can lead to the suspicion of a neoplasm. The lesion itself serves as a biomarker, but the minute details of the lesion serve as biomarkers as well, and can collectively be used to assess the risk of neoplasm. Some of the imaging biomarkers used in lung nodule assessment include size, spiculation, calcification, cavitation, location within the lung, rate of growth, and rate of metabolism. Each piece of information from the image represents a probability. Spiculation increases the probability of the lesion being cancer. A slow rate of growth indicates benignity. These variables can be added to the patient's history, physical exam, laboratory tests, and pathology to reach a proposed diagnosis. Imaging biomarkers can be measured using several techniques, such as CT, electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and MRI.

Curasight A/S

Curasight is a biotech company focused on addressing the need for improved diagnosis and treatment of several cancer indications. The Company has developed a highly specific PET (Positron emission tomography) imaging ligand, uTRACE®, targeting the receptor uPAR, which is a biomarker only expressed in cancer. uTRACE® will become a game-changer in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.
In addition, with the promising results obtained within diagnostics Curasight will also pursues uPAR targeted radionuclide therapy using the uTREAT® ligand. As PET imaging and radionuclide therapy is based on the same uPAR binding peptide, a uTRACE® scan can precisely predict where subsequent targeted radiation therapy will be delivered. uTRACE® covers the diagnostic path and uTREAT® covers the therapy. This will be the new management and treatment of cancer patients in the future.

Hologic engages in the development, manufacture, and supply of medical imaging systems and diagnostic and surgical products focused on the healthcare needs of women. Products The company operates in four segments: Breast Health; Diagnostics; GYN Surgical; and Skeletal Health. BREAST HEALTH PRODUCTS The company's breast health business offers a line of breast imaging products, including the Selenia full field digital mammography system, a series of screen-film mammography systems, breast biopsy image guidance systems, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems for both screen-film and digital mammography, and DirectRay digital detectors. Its breast health business also includes its Interventional Breast Solutions family of products including breast biopsy devices, its MammoSite radiation therapy system and the MammoPad breast cushion. The company's photoconductor coating business, which it acquired in connection with its acquisition of its selenium coating capabilities for its digital detectors, is also a component of its breast health business. DirectRay Digital Detector: The company's DirectRay flat panel detector technology employs an amorphous selenium (a-Se) photoconductor to directly convert x-ray photons into an electrical signal. Selenia Full Field Digital Mammography System: The Selenia full field digital mammography system is based on its proprietary, amorphous selenium DirectRay digital detector, which preserves image quality by using amorphous selenium to directly convert x-rays to electronic signals, without first converting them to light. This direct conversion process preserves image sharpness by eliminating light diffusion.
