MEDICAL: Locate retained foreign objects in surgical patients quickly and accuratelyProblem: Items left in patient (in vivo) after surgery
- Small needle in vivo indistinguishable from operating table
- X-rays and MRI scans impractical, expensive, risky
- Standard practice object count is error prone
- Standard is manual count of needles, sponges, instruments
- Counts were often “correct” when retained objects are later found
Solution: TRACEFIND hand-held scanner detects the difference
- Scanner maps environment
- Scanner subtracts environment – only the needle remains
DEFENSE / SECURITY / SAFETY: Locate multiple threats with one core technologyProblem: Detection of contraband, weapons, explosives, leaks
- Chemical
- Metallic
- Radiological
- Toxic
Solution: TRACEFIND handheld scanner maps environment continuously
- Scanner maps environment
- Scanner subtracts environment – only anomaly remains
