Bartron Medical Imaging, Inc. is an MBE business and a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “BMI”). It is a biotechnology medical device manufacturer with software development, manufacturing and R&D facilities in New Haven, CT. BMI was founded in 2000 by Mr. Fitz G. Walker, Jr. when he first had the opportunity to come in contact with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the Hierarchical Segmentation Technology (HSEG) developed by Goddard’s Dr. James C. Tilton, and developments with Recursive Segmentation (RHSEG) using a new concept – the High Performance Computer (HPC) Cluster, the first of its type. NASA was applying this technology toward analysis of land-based images (terrestrial and planetary). Mr. Walker saw that this technology potentially represented an enormous leap forward in digital medical imaging. This potential is realized in the Bartron Medical Imaging MED-SEG™ System (MED-SEG).
Business model being used is Gillette’s Razor and Blade Model. The MED-SEG will be sold and will generate revenue as each image is processed.
MED-SEG is a software device that receives medical images and data from various imaging sources (including but not limited to CT, MR, US, RF units, computed and direct radiographic devices, and secondary capture devices. Images and data can be stored, communicated processed and displayed within the system or across computer networks at distributed location.
BMI received the first Cooperative Research and Development Agreement in the history of NASA in 2005. This was for 3D medical imaging.
BMI has filed with the FDA for a 510(k) and the submission is presently under review.
