About Imalux & the Niris Imaging System Imalux Corporation, based in Cleveland, Ohio, is commercializing Optical Coherence Tomography ("OCT") technology originally developed at the Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences Russian Academy of Sciences (Russian: Росси́йская Акаде́мия Нау́к, , one of the main progenitors of OCT technology worldwide. The application of the proven OCT technology is on the verge On the Verge (or The Geography of Yearning) is a play written by Eric Overmyer. It makes extensive use of esoteric language and pop culture references from the late nineteenth century to 1955. of becoming the sixth major imaging modality. The Company's Niris(TM) Imaging System is a compact, point-of-care System that creates images utilizing harmless, near infrared light. Niris provides clinicians with real-time, high spatial resolution, two-dimensional, cross-sectional depth visualization of normal and abnormal tissue microstructures The spatial resolution of the System is on the order of 0.01 mm, surpassing conventional ultrasound imaging by an order of magnitude A change in quantity or volume as measured by the decimal point. For example, from tens to hundreds is one order of magnitude. Tens to thousands is two orders of magnitude; tens to millions is three orders of magnitude, etc. . Imalux OCT technology has been under evaluation with physicians in a number of specialty areas and has been used with more than 3,000 patients worldwide at leading medical institutions including The Cleveland Clinic, The George Washington University George Washington University, at Washington, D.C.; coeducational; chartered 1821 as Columbian College (one of the first nonsectarian colleges), opened 1822, became a university in 1873, renamed 1904.
