The National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394), awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to O2M Technologies LLC to improve the image acquisition speed of their Single Point Imaging (SPI) oxygen mapping technology. SPI is a subset of the company's Pulse Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Imaging (PEPRI) method, which can generate high-resolution 3D partial oxygen pressure (pO2) maps in live tissues and tumors. The goal of this project is to enhance the imaging speed of SPI using advanced hardware and deep learning, enabling faster oxygen mapping without compromising image quality. This will support improved studies of tumor biology, perfusion, drug development, and radiation treatment. The project aims to bring the NCI-developed PEPRI technology closer to commercial-level applications and eventual clinical use for oxygen-guided tumor treatments.
