Promaxo provides MRI solutions specifically designed for prostate imaging and image-guided biopsies. Their MRI system is compact and modular, allowing private medical practices, especially those in urology, to perform scans on-site without the need for extensive facility upgrades. This system uses low magnetic fields to generate high-quality images quickly and comfortably for patients. Unlike traditional MRI systems, Promaxo's technology is more accessible and cost-effective, enabling practices to avoid referring patients to external imaging centers, which reduces wait times and enhances patient care. The company differentiates itself with a strong intellectual property portfolio and a business model that allows clinics to recover costs rapidly through existing reimbursement codes. Promaxo's goal is to improve the quality of care in medical imaging by making MRI technology more available and affordable for healthcare providers.
