FDA Clears NinePoint Medical’s Imaging System Upgrade

The FDA has cleared an upgrade to NinePoint Medical’s Nvision volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) imaging system.

The Intelligent Real-time Image Segmentation (IRIS) software upgrade is an AI-based platform used for image feature segmentation — dividing a digital image into multiple segments for improved analysis.

The Nvision VLE imaging system is used to allow for VLE procedures that generate real-time, high-resolution, cross-sectioned images. These images are used to evaluate esophageal tissue surface and sub-surface for potential diseases that can’t be seen through traditional technology.
