About Clario Medical Imaging

Clario Medical Imaging, Inc. is a medical imaging subsidiary of LumenIQ, Inc. The patented core technology supports applications in medical and biometric/forensic imaging. Clario develops software products that use the power of computer graphics to display images in unique ways. This new method of display is more closely matched to the human visual system than a conventional presentation, increasing the efficiency of the radiologist. As a positive side effect, pilot studies have demonstrated a significant increase in radiologist efficiency when compared to conventional reading techniques. Clario Medical Imaging is bringing new post-processing technologies to radiologists by embedding 1. (mathematics) embedding - One instance of some mathematical object contained with in another instance, e.g. a group which is a subgroup.
2. (theory) embedding - (domain theory) A complete partial order F in [X -> Y] is an embedding if
 them into existing reading stations; z3D Contrast Acuity is Clario's first medical application. Products based on Clario's core technology are licensed as components to imaging systems sold by OEMs. For more information, visit www.clariomedical.com.
