About cmi-experts
cmi-experts GmbH is a Switzerland-based company providing quality support services in the domain of medical imaging. The company was founded in 2008 by Thomas Beyer who has a background in medical physics. Since then, the company supported numerous international and national projects spanning from market analyses, marketing support, extending to early product development and validation to collaboration and research management.
Our staff and associates are recognized experts in medical imaging with extensive experience in system engineering, imaging applications and project management. Together we provide unique know-how to users of radiology and nuclear medicine imaging, both in the private and public healthcare sector and research settings.
Our VISION is that medical imaging will continue to grow into a pillar of personalized medicine concepts. Imaging is a means to assess patients non-invasively at the right time and with the right protocol. Our MISSION is to contribute to the development, integration and efficient use of medical imaging modalities by sharing our know-how and expertise in healthcare product development, testing and validation, and by helping imaging equipment users to get trained effectively.
Portfolio example. A reputed Swiss radiology network seeks to expand its services through the acquisition of a dual-modality PET/CT system. The challenge put forward was to do a market analysis, cost-revenue model and suggest options for regionally-variant installations of such a machinery. cmi-experts successfully completed the analysis and provided ample information and evidence to support the decision making by pointing to a mid-risk, high-return installation concept.
Portfolio Example. A global player in healthcare instrumentation seeks to engage with a University partner for alpha-testing of new imaging technologies. The project is scheduled for a 3-y duration. cmi-experts acted as the local coordinator and PI, together with jointly defined and engaged clinical experts and partners in product development. Based on multiple prospectively planned validation studies, the bespoke imaging systems were validated for various use case scenarios, a number of peer-reviewed publications were published and clinical case material prepared for further marketing affairs. Both sides took a benefit from this moderated collaboration.
Portfolio example. A large pharmaceutical company plans to run a clinical phase 2 trial in oncology and seeks to include biomarker information for therapy response as obtained from molecular imaging. Together, with a Germany-based CRO we supported the definition of the imaging trial protocol for maximum quality of the imaging data and reproducible quantitative information. In addition, we conducted the multi-centric site set-up and quality control.
Portfolio example. We provide a continuous training platform for medical professionals, particularly those dealing with ionizing radiation: www.medizinphysik.ch. We operate an International Training Centre for PET/CT imaging: www.petct-imaging.com. We have produced a series of clinical case libraries for an international imaging system provider for SPECT/CT, PET/CT and PET/MR case studies.
