Brief Description
InkSpace Imaging makes comfortable, patient-customized Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) surface receive coils, that help MRI operators decrease their costs while increasing patient comfort and the speed of exams.
UC Berkeley Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Professors Ana Claudia Arias and Michael (Miki) Shimon Lustig, and UC Berkeley PhD student Joseph Corea, founded the company to commercialize their invention of thin-film, lightweight MRI sensors that can be embedded in swaddles that fits snugly on little patients, making MRI procedures easier and safer for children. The company's novel manufacturing method creates extremely lightweight, flexible and low-cost MRI coils. The printed, flexible coils can ensure a systematic, comfortable fit to the patient for any size, shape or body part, helping increase the use of MRIs for pediatric patients while limiting the need for general anesthesia.
