VANCOUVER, BC and BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - October 11, 2017) - Imagin Medical, Inc. (
Dr. Stanley J Swierzewski offered the following comments: "As a practicing urologist, I invested in Imagin because I have a duty and responsibility to advance any improvements in treatment and technology that will benefit my patients and save lives. Current technology is cumbersome and time consuming, taking a full hour of prep time as opposed to 10 minutes, making it less effective as a screening or follow-up tool. Bladder cancer patients are basically monitored for life with in-office cystoscopies which are not effective in differentiating between inflammation and cancer. To be safe, we perform surgery on many patients which often turns out to be negative. Imagin's i/Blue technology, given its potential speed and sensitivity, will help us assess the patient's condition more quickly and accurately and avoid unnecessary surgery. It will also make necessary surgery more successful, ultimately saving lives and reducing medical expenses. I'm confident that using the i/Blue system will become the standard of care. I look forward to the Research Study results and I cannot wait to use this technology in treating my bladder cancer patients."
"We're thrilled that practicing urologists see the value in our technology and are eager to use it in their practices," commented Jim Hutchens, Imagin Medical's President and CEO.
