CORDICITY
Challenging traditional quantification of cardiac function
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and a great strain on healthcare economy.
To tackle this large problem, one of the urgent needs of the healthcare sector is to have improved tools to assess cardiac function from available and easily operated medical image modalities. This, to be able to prevent disease progression and to optimize planned interventions.
Cordicity’s way to satisfy this need is to offer software which are applied to computed tomography (CT) images of the heart. The software computes and simulates several important blood flow parameters and gives the physician increased information on the patient-specific cardiac function.
The team of Cordicity AB emerged within the field of translational research in medical image science. The word translational implies that issues arise within the healthcare sector, and that the research should enhance and generate patient benefits - which now also constitutes one of the primary purposes of the company.
