The OA Signal scanner imaging a patient with its multi-wavelength beam
OA-SNON-CONTACT FUNCTIONAL IMAGING

An automated cancer scan with no harmful radiation in under 2 minutes*

OA Signal is building the first scanner that's as gentle as an ultrasound, but shows what ultrasound can't: the blood and oxygen that separate healthy tissue from cancer, up to 4 cm beneath the skin.

The healthcare industry needs a scanner capable of:
<2 min
a full 3-D scan, fast enough for a screening day
2–4 cm
beneath the skin, reaching the tissue that matters
~100 µm
spatial resolution, down to individual vessels
How it works

Light goes in. Sound comes out.

  1. 01

    Light is delivered

    The scanner sends pulses of near‑infrared light into the body without physical contact.

  2. 02

    Blood is heated

    Blood vessels absorb energy from different colors of light to reveal the oxygen saturation level.

  3. 03

    Sound is generated

    Sudden heating causes expansion, generating a faint ultrasonic signal.

  4. 04

    Vibration is seen

    An interferometric laser listens to tiny acoustic vibrations on the skin, all from a distance, no probe contact or gel.

Each scan is designed to produce a 3-D map of blood and oxygenation, distinguishing oxygen-rich from oxygen-poor blood.

Why OA Signal

Every modality makes you choose.

The usual trade-offs
  • CT, MRI, PET reach deep, but rely on radiation or injected contrast.
  • OCT is gentle, but sees only a few millimeters down.
  • Ultrasound reaches depth, but can't show blood oxygenation.
  • Today's opto-acoustic needs gel, contact, and slow manual scanning.
The OA Signal difference
  • Centimeters deep, in 3-D: rich detail, deep enough to matter.
  • Hemoglobin & oxygen saturation: not just structure, but how tissue is working.
  • No radiation, contrast, gel, or contact: the comfort and safety trade-offs, gone.
  • A fast, automated sweep: less prep, no cleanup, built to keep a clinic moving.
Products

Built for the breast-imaging clinic.

The clinical scanner is where our focus is. The same core technology also powers a research platform and an industrial inspection system, each on its own track.
