EMTensor and QuantalRF Announce Joint Evaluation of Quantal Technology
SAN DIEGO, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — EMTensor, a global leader in Electromagnetic Tomography (ET) imaging solutions, and QuantalRF, an innovator in breakthrough wireless RF technology, today announced that the companies have signed an agreement to jointly evaluate QuantalRF’s Quantal technology within EMTensor’s Generation 4 ET brain scanning device.
EMTensor’s Solution
EMTensor has rapidly reduced the cost and size of its patented brain-scanning device over four generations of product development. As currently one of the lightest and smallest of all known brain imaging solutions under development today, EMTensor’s scanner is portable and maneuverable such that it can provide critical early stroke assessment at bedside in a hospital (emergency) room, or in future applications such as an ambulance. Electromagnetic Tomography is a novel medical imaging modality which uses safe, non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation and complements established medical imaging solutions such as MRI, CT, PET, and ultrasound. The company is in the process of continuing to improve image quality and reduce scan time as they mature their product and proceed with clinical trials.
“We are very excited to integrate QuantalRF’s front-end RF technology into our sensor modules to evaluate potential improvements in our scanner performance and reductions in power,” said Stephen Pearce, CEO of EMTensor. “QuantalRF has shared RF performance data with us, indicating that scanner image quality improvement and scan time reduction are possible with the addition of Quantal technology to our RF sensors.”
Quantal Technology
Recognizing the challenges of today’s wireless RF Front-Ends (RFFE), from low data rate, ultra-low-cost/low-power Internet-of-Things (IoT) radios, to highly complex 4G and 5G mobile device RFFE’s, QuantalRF has been developing innovative, patented technologies to address these challenges.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate the value that our Quantal technology can bring in such an important life-saving application,” said Ali Fard, CEO/CTO for QuantalRF. “In addition to wireless communication device applications, medical imaging solutions are a fantastic vehicle to demonstrate the benefits of QuantalRF’s disruptive RF Front-End technology.”
