About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.
ENDRA Life Sciences is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced
UltraSound (TAEUS ), a ground-breaking technology being
developed to visualize tissue like CT or MRI, but at
the cost, at the point of patient care. TAEUS is designed to work
in concert with the over one million ultrasound systems in use
globally today. TAEUS is initially focused on the measurement of
fat in the liver, as a means to assess and monitor Non-Alcoholic
Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and inflammation (NASH), chronic liver
conditions that affect over one billion people globally, and for
which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver,
ENDRA is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS,
including visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based
surgical procedures. www.endrainc.com
