Innovations in Imaging
FreeBee International International develops imaging methods for improving patient care and medical research. Free Bee Int’l was founded in 2023 by Prof. Freek Beekman, a Dutch physicist, innovator, and serial life science entrepreneur.
At Free Bee Int’l we pioneer new imaging technologies with the aim to improve e.g. tumor, brain, cardiac, breast and total body imaging, and image guided radionuclide therapy. Key knowledge is on imaging instrumentation, image reconstruction, image processing and making real products.
ACTIVITIES
Next Generation Clinical SPECT: Presently used clinical SPECT is limited in terms of speed, resolution and sensitivity. Free Bee Int’l develops next generation SPECT technologies e.g., by using various proprietary collimation technologies and detector systems.
Next generation gamma camera based Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI)
MBI is an alternative for X-ray based breast imaging, needed because X-ray imaging has severe limitations, in particular for patients with a high percentage of dense breast tissue. Comprehensive information on currently available MBI instruments can be found at Smart Breast Corporation and CMR Naviscan. Free Bee’s new technologies will enable to lowering required dose, shortening imaging time, improve patient comfort, improve image resolution and allow for more efficient 3D localization of tumors to enable accurate and highly efficient tumor biopsy. Free Bee Int’l developed an extensive IP portfolio on new breast imaging technologies.
