ImageIQ and Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute enter partnership

ImageIQ, Inc. announced that it will partner with the Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute for ongoing joint replacement research. According to a company press release, ImageIQ and AORI will apply 3-D imaging analytics to improve the assessment of the structural integrity and longitudinal performance of various biomaterials in orthopedic implant wear studies.

Data generated from this partnership, the release noted, may potentially be used to help reduce the frequency of joint replacement implant failures and subsequently improve the quality of life for those undergoing joint replacement procedures. ImageIQ provides custom-tailored preclinical and clinical imaging analytics, software engineering and image visualization services for research, medical device and pharmaceutical organizations.

“We partnered with ImageIQ because of their clinical lineage and rich history of excellence in providing application-specific medical imaging and image processing for the orthopedic research community,” Robert Hopper, PhD, executive director of the Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute and a lead investigator at AORI, stated in the release. “Our partnership with ImageIQ will allow us to leverage their expertise and state-of-the-art imaging resources, enabling us to focus our research efforts on the clinical interpretation of the data that ImageIQ provides.”
