A trailblazer in medical imaging: Terry Peters
Terry Peters, a New Zealander-Canadian with a background in Electrical Engineering from the University of Canterbury, has been on a transformative journey in image-guided therapy over his fifty-year career. His story unfolds as a series of pivotal moments and breakthroughs. In 1971, Peters’ mentor Richard Bates redirected his career from engineering to medical imaging. At the time, medical imaging primarily relied on radiographs that had remained unchanged for over 75 years. Peters was tasked with measuring bone density and studying wave scattering in homogeneous mediums. This challenge set the stage for his groundbreaking work discovering computerized tomography (CT). Although his…
Tenomix secures oversubscribed $2.1M, all-Canadian financing round to advance cancer staging
Tenomix, an image-guided diagnostic company based out of Western University’s BioNext Medtech Incubator, recently celebrated a significant milestone with an oversubscribed all-Canadian $2.14M funding round.

PulseMedica is laser-focused on tackling vitreoretinal diseases
The PulseMedica platform is a 3D image-guided therapy device that integrates powerful laser therapy, advanced medical imaging, and limitless machine learning (ML) for precision imaging and treatment of vitreoretinal disease. Vitreoretinal diseases exist within the clear gel (vitreous fluid) that fills the eye and retina at the back of the eye. PulseMedica’s device strives to automate the imaging and treatment process, enabling quick and precise disease targeting, thereby reducing the treatment time and reducing the risk of side effects and total time per patient, allowing for more patients to be treated each day.
