Customer Need - Excel Worksheet

Key Business Goals/Project Deliverables

To design a prototype test platform for depth defined molecular imaging.

Primary Market/Project Opportunities

Health care hand imaging

Secondary Market/Project Opportunities

This technology is currently limited by how far it can penetrate tissue, but at some point could be scaled up to image feet, knees and possibly the whole body.

A future project could involve a hand restraining device or commercial box.
