Thanks Horsford for welcoming other views.
I would love to buy this share if I thought it was ground breaking software with the ability to detect lesions that are otherwise not detectable. That would definitely lead to changes in patient management and potentially save money and possibly lives. Unfortunately any techniques which upstage cancer ie finding distant metastasis is a negative for the patient but can stop unnecessary surgery/chemotherapy/radiotherapy which could save money.
Please show me one case study where TexRad finds a lesion smalller than 5mm which was not seen on conventional Imaging .
CT generally picks up lesions 5mm plus these generally lesions that have grown ie CT is picking up anatomical changes. PETCT can pick up metabolic changes before lesions have grown very much from 2.5mm plus but is only used for 4-5 cancers, bowel, lung, lymphoma , prostate, oesophageal and melanoma. For instance it’s not very good for breast cancer.
If TexRad can pick up lesions from 2mm that can be characterised as tumours from the texture analysis that would be a USP.
If TrxRad could characterise larger lesions as definitely cancer without the need for a biopsy that would be a USP.
Please show me a case study where TexRad has a USP.
NB the software in the video that I linked to earlier can pick up lesions from 3mm and also characterise them as solid or partially solid (ie calcified). That software has been around for 10 years
