Dr Phil Marsden delivered the opening remarks on the first day and chaired a panel of experts resulting in an interesting and active debate. The focus on medical imaging in oncology highlighted the need to listen to end users – clinicians are overwhelmed with data, and top requirement is for decision-supporting tools. Scans need to be performed just prior to decision-making as tumours move and grow. Personalised dose in radiography is key. Good to catch up with industry colleagues and friends too.

]]> Challenge : It sometimes happens that a good idea comes out of left-field. Not a designated project, but a side spin …. an idea that keeps growing until someone thinks it’s good enough to become a product. This was the history of a hospital diagnostic machine which we were asked to get involved with. It had been well constructed but without a full design pedigree, and little regard for ISO 13485 processes or IEC 60601-1 regulations. We were specifically asked to look at a large piece of electronic and mechanic hardware. Of course, there was no formal project plan, no real R&D assigned budget, and a team which was multi-tasking on other projects.

Approach : The first thing to think about when bringing a new product to market is – is there a market to bring it to? We performed an analysis of the competition – drew up a table of performance specifications, and identified what would be required to deliver USPs. From this we could establish critical specifications, based on certain functional and performance criteria crucial to marketing the product.

The end result : Unitive delivered a coherent design specification based on market / clinical performance requirements. The company benefitted from this both in terms of moving the prototype forwards, but also for the product lifecycle. It enabled them to rapidly achieve a second generation prototype through engagement with a third party, large-scale electro-mechanical prototyping facility provider. We then evaluated the new prototype against the new specifications, moving it successfully to full product viability.

]]> The Unitive team were awarded a grant by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency. Working with the University of Bristol, partners in the UK Quantum Technology Hub and part of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme, this grant supports the development of a commercial direction for the Quantum Light Source (QLS) – an exciting technology which has profound implications for the future of imaging applications, including medical and biological imaging.

QLS represents the successful culmination of research by the University of Bristol who have demonstrated imaging and sensing ‘beyond the shot noise limit’ using quantum technology.

Supported by QuantIC and the Quantum Technology Enterprise Centre, Bristol’s research opens a paradigm shift, providing a way to move beyond classical limitations of metrology which until now have been an inevitable part of all imaging and sensing.

]]> Brain Imaging Magnetoencephalography (MEG)

UDA recently completed a detailed study into the commercial feasibility for a new generation MEG device. Working with the world class research team at the University of Nottingham, Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre, led by Dr Matthew Brookes, we provided an in-depth market analysis with recommendations and a roadmap to take the technology to market. The project was funded by Innovate UK and led by UDA. MEG is a non-invasive brain imaging system which reads magnetic fields produced from the activity of neurons in the brain. Technological breakthroughs by the team in Nottingham promise a new generation system which will be important for research into Mental Health, brain disorders, understanding neurodegenerative diseases, and paediatric epilepsy. Working on this project added significantly to our technical know-how in magnetic imaging and shielding, enhancing our portfolio of medical imaging system expertise.
