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. By enabling practices to conduct MRI scans in-house, Promaxo reduces the time patients wait for scans and follow-up visits, improving the overall quality of care and reducing patient anxiety. Unlike traditional MRI systems, Promaxo's technology is cost-effective, with low capital and operating costs, and it allows clinics to recover their investment in less than a year through existing CPT codes. The company's goal is to enhance patient care by making MRI technology more accessible and affordable for medical practices.
