About Seracam®
Seracam® is an innovative, compact and highly portable hybrid optical-gamma camera which is in development to bring the benefits of high-resolution molecular imaging to a patient's bedside. This breakthrough technology will enable users to see the uptake of targeted tracers, labelled with minute amounts of radioactivity, to patients in a wide range of settings: an operating room, an intensive care unit, or a physician's office. Currently the benefits of such imaging are largely confined to patients who can attend a hospital's nuclear medicine department where the large, heavy and expensive conventional gamma cameras are sited in a fixed position in a dedicated room.

A further unique feature of Seracam®, is the combination of a gamma image overlaid with a co-aligned optical image of the same region of interest. This adds further information regarding the precise anatomical location of the molecular imaging tracer and could be used to improve understanding of a patient's condition and their optimal treatment path. 

Mark Rosser, Chief Executive Officer of Serac Imaging Systems, said:
"We are excited to welcome Jim to the team at such a pivotal point, with clinical testing of Seracam now well underway, and feedback from patients and physicians imminent. With his wealth of experience in nuclear medicine and medical imaging, combined with his business development prowess, Jim will play a significant role in driving Seracam forward through its next stages of development."

Commenting on his appointment, James Kaufman added:
"Serac Imaging Systems' approach, designing a product for unmet diagnostic needs from the ground up using cutting-edge technology, has the potential to be a game changer for patient care. I am excited to work with Mark and his team to bring Seracam's breakthrough molecular imaging technology to new patient populations in diverse locations, thereby extending imaging options, increasing productivity and ultimately patient outcomes."
