Lightpoint Medical is an innovative, clinical-stage medical device company founded in 2012. The company has developed a groundbreaking surgical imaging technology based on Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging (CLI). CLI has the potential to detect cancer in real-time during surgery, and thereby reduce the need for repeat operations.
CLI enables optical detection of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals, combining the advantages of optical imaging (namely, low cost and small form factor) with the power of PET imaging (i.e., high diagnostic performance, and widespread availability of imaging agents).
