Bartron Medical Imaging, Inc, was founded in 2000 by Fitz G. Walker, Jr. and is a Maryland corporation (“BMI”), It is a biotechnology medical device manufacturer with software development, manufacturing and R&D facilities in New Haven, CT. BMI’s flagship product, MED-SEG™, an FDA cleared medical device written by Mr. Walker for medical imaging, which allows regions of interest to be recognized with a clarity and specificity unequaled in the marketplace. We believe that in the future, MED-SEG™ technology will identify abnormalities before identifications done via the original images alone. Also, we expect that our product will play an important role in medical applications and contribute to reducing health-related costs.
The system receives digital images via a secure cloud internet communication link. High-speed segmentation and regionalization is performed by a secure HPC and returned to the user. The user interprets the images and information displayed by the system.
MED-SEG™ can allow information inherent in the image to become visible. This newly visible information can be used for the possible identification of pathogenic regions without image manipulation. It is BMI’s intent for the technology to better enable the medical practitioner to gather more information from the same image. BMI also has the capacity to provide services in storage, healthcare IT, data mining, and cloud computing and high performance computing.
R&D Magazine Awards
In June 2011 the editors of R&D Magazine announced the winners of the 49th Annual R & D 100 Awards. The award is a testimony to the 100 most “technologically significant products” introduced over the past year. Bartron was listed as the Co-developer with NASA/GFSC in the category of Imaging Technologies for incorporating Recursive Hierarchical Segmentation into its MED-SEG™. The R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for various industry sectors Winners of the R&D 100 Awards are selected by an independent judging panel and the editors of R&D. Maryland Technology Transfer Company of the Year
Bartron Medical Imaging was cited as the Maryland Technology Transfer Company of the Year at the 11th Annual Maryland Incubator Company of the Year Awards ceremony in June 2011. Using the data from digital medical images, MED-SEG™ can glean much more information from a typical image, it gathers and processes digital information that is not visible to the radiologist. BMI’s CEO, Fitz Walker, realized the value of the NASA software. “I looked at the technology and realized it could be used for digital medical images with a focus on mammograms but not limited to ,
