Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. (IDSI)
Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. (IDSI) is a medical technology company focused on the early detection of breast cancer. They are known for developing and commercializing the LumaGem? system, a diagnostic imaging technology designed to improve breast cancer screening, particularly for women with dense breast tissue.

IDSI's primary product is the LumaGem system. It utilizes a technology called Multi-Spectral Imaging (MSI) to capture images of the breast. This technology is intended to provide additional information beyond traditional mammography, potentially improving the detection of cancerous lesions in dense breasts, which can be challenging to interpret with mammography alone.
Technology and Applications
The LumaGem system's MSI technology aims to differentiate between healthy and cancerous tissue by analyzing how different tissues absorb and reflect light. IDSI has positioned LumaGem as a complementary tool to mammography, not a replacement. It is designed to be used in conjunction with mammography to enhance detection rates, especially in women with dense breasts, a population often at higher risk for missed diagnoses.
Target Market
IDSI's target market includes:
- Hospitals and breast imaging centers
- Physicians specializing in breast health
- Women with dense breast tissue
Challenges and Competition
The medical device industry is highly competitive. IDSI faces competition from companies developing other breast imaging technologies, including 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) and breast ultrasound. The company also faces challenges related to regulatory approvals, market adoption of new technologies, and reimbursement for procedures.
Business Model
IDSI's business model typically involves the sale or lease of LumaGem systems to healthcare providers. They may also generate revenue from service contracts and disposable components associated with the system.
