The Russian fund
RBV Capital invested 160 million rubles in
Image Analysis Ltd. The company develops software for visualization of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations in the treatment of immune and oncological diseases.
The funds raised will be used to further develop the Dynamic software platform, to develop its clinical centers and increase the client base of Image Analysis.
Today, the market for software for quantitative analysis of data from medical examinations is actively developing. The software is used to diagnose inflammatory and oncological diseases, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiac perfusion and a number of other disorders.
Image Analysis is the leader among similar developments. Previously, doctors had to get the results of the survey, relying only on the qualitative assessment, their own experience and the patient's reaction.

said in a press release.
