The resolution of the system is sufficiently high to allow the detection and assessment of rupture-prone lesions, which are the primary cause of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.

Medeikon is currently developing its technology and will license it to medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and other technology companies. Medeikon is a privately held company. Medeikon is currently engaged in a private placement for Round B financing, $15 million, through Janney Montgomery Scott LLC.
