Nanox to Present New Clinical Data on Nanox.ARC Advanced 3D Digital Tomosynthesis Imaging System at ECR 2025

  • In a clinical study, it was found that the Nanox.ARC digital tomosynthesis enhanced musculoskeletal imaging, can improve the sensitivity and specificity of conventional radiography.
  • In addition, can improve cast and metal imaging, eliminate the need for CT in some cases while at the same time reducing the patient radiation exposure and radiologist reading time.
  • The Nanox.ARC outperformed standard x-ray in detecting lung nodules under simulated obesity conditions in phantoms

PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANO-X IMAGING LTD ("Nanox" or the "Company", Nasdaq: NNOX), an innovative medical imaging technology company, today announced that it will present data supporting the Nanox.ARC performance at the 2025 European Congress of Radiology (ECR), taking place February 26 – March 2 in Vienna, Austria.

The Nanox.ARC is a stationary X-ray system featuring a proprietary digital X-ray source and advanced tomosynthesis technology with a cold cathode, providing a more comprehensive, sliced three-dimensional view of the body.

Earlier today Nanox announced that it has received CE (Conformité Européenne) mark certification to market the multi-source Nanox.ARC system in Europe, where the system is intended to generate tomographic images of human anatomy from a single tomographic sweep performed in recumbent positions of adult patients.

The CE mark, together with the FDA 510(k) general use clearance received in December 2024, marks a significant milestone in the global commercialization of the Nanox.ARC system.

“We take pride in our robust clinical performance. By prioritizing clinical needs and development efforts in collaboration with the medical community, we ensure that our innovations are not only advanced but also relevant to those we serve,” said Erez Meltzer, Nanox Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chairman. “Alongside our recent regulatory milestones, these latest Nanox.ARC data highlight several of our clinical efforts and reinforce our commitment to advancing patient care.”

Nanox representatives will be available for meetings throughout the congress. Schedule a meeting here: https://bit.ly/415jsjv.

New data will be presented across three abstracts at ECR:

  • A clinical study evaluating digital tomosynthesis for musculoskeletal imaging
  • A phantom study assessing the impact of obesity on chest imaging
  • A case series demonstrating key applications in musculoskeletal diagnostics

More details are as follows:

Oral Presentation: Evaluation of the diagnostic potential of a Tomosynthesis system for MSK

  • Presenter: Nogah Shabshin, M.D. (Medical Director, ARC Division at Nanox)
  • Session: RPS 2410 - Imaging of musculoskeletal tumors
  • Location: ACV, Research Stage 4
  • Summary:
    • In a 19-patient study conducted by Shamir Medical Center, researchers compared standard X-ray, CT, and digital tomosynthesis (Nanox.ARC) for diagnosing fractures
  • Conclusions:
    • Digital tomosynthesis provided diagnostic value in 17 of the 19 cases
    • The technology improved the detection of occult fractures and lesions, improved fracture localization, determined fracture age, and cleared suspected fractures

Poster Presentation: The Effect of Obesity on Chest Radiography and Digital Tomosynthesis – a Phantom Study

  • Presenter: Nogah Shabshin, M.D. (Medical Director, ARC Division at Nanox)
  • Location: EPOS Area, Level 2
  • Summary:
    • In an internal Nanox study, a phantom simulating a human with lung nodules underwent scans by standard X-ray and digital tomosynthesis (Nanox.ARC). Gel layers were added to the phantom to simulate waist circumferences up to the 95th percentile of the U.S. population.
  • Conclusions:
    • Nanox.ARC scans clearly demonstrated the simulated lung nodules and the image clarity was maintained through added gel layers.
    • In contrast, lung nodules were barely visible on standard X-ray scans, regardless of the number of added gel layers, suggesting potential benefits for early detection in a growing population affected by obesity.

Poster Presentation: Applications of Digital Tomosynthesis in the musculoskeletal system

  • Presenter: Nogah Shabshin, M.D. (Medical Director, ARC Division at Nanox)
  • Location: EPOS Area, Level 2
  • Summary:
    • The versatility of digital tomosynthesis in musculoskeletal imaging is demonstrated in a series of clinical cases featuring scans taken by the Nanox.ARC.
  • Conclusions:
    • Highlighted applications include improving visualization of overlapping bones, reducing dependency on patient positioning and coordination, and improved imaging of patients with casts.
