Spun out of research from research in the biomedical engineering department at Purdue University, Vibronix Inc is focused on optical and acoustic technologies for surgical guidance. With facilities also in Suzhow, China, the company provides innovative integrated solutions for fast and precision surgery with interwoven ideas in vibrational spectroscopy, optical & acoustic imaging, augmented reality and machine learning. The firm had previously been developing a multi-modal intraoperative imaging tool based on traditional ultrasound and photoacoustic tomograph aimed at addressing issues in breast-conserving surgery, or lumpectomi and a high-speed intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) catheter system that works as a multimodal imaging system for atherosclerosis disease characterization.
