Nanox.ARC Imaging System Receives FDA Clearance for General Use, Including Pulmonary Indication
Nanox.ARC receives additional FDA clearance to produce tomographic images for general use, including pulmonary, intra-abdominal and paranasal indications, in addition to its previously cleared indication for the musculoskeletal system
Nanox.ARC uses high voltage powered digital X-ray tubes for 3D tomosynthesis imaging that could help expand availability of medical imaging
Nanox.ARC now deployed at healthcare facilities across seven states in the U.S.
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANO-X IMAGING LTD (“Nanox” or the “Company,” Nasdaq: NNOX), an innovative medical imaging technology company, today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Nanox.ARC, a stationary X-ray system intended to produce tomographic images for general use including human musculoskeletal system, pulmonary, intra-abdominal, and paranasal sinus indications, adjunctive to conventional radiography, on adult patients.
The Nanox.ARC features a proprietary digital X-ray source, representing a significant advancement in X-ray technology. The Nanox.ARC utilizes advanced tomosynthesis technology with a cold cathode to create a more comprehensive, sliced three-dimensional view of the body, enhancing visualization with multiple layers of images and reducing the super-imposition of structures often seen in 2D X-rays.
“With this FDA clearance, we can now offer U.S. healthcare providers significantly broader imaging capabilities that are akin to commonly used traditional X-ray devices,” said Erez Meltzer, Nanox Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chairman. “Our mission is to provide healthcare practices with a transformative imaging advantage with the Nanox.ARC – an accessible, cost-effective solution that not only provides advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities but also elevates overall patient care. We look forward to bringing this technology to more healthcare facilities throughout the country.”
The Company believes the new FDA-cleared indications will help broaden Nanox. ARC’s commercial expansion in the U.S., where it is currently deployed at multiple healthcare facilities across seven states. Worldwide, there are a few dozen units in various stages of shipments and deployments for both commercial and clinical uses.
“The installation of the Nanox.ARC at our facility marks a significant leap forward in our diagnostic capabilities,” said Sherri Donaldson, COO at Diagnostic Radiology Institute of Kansas City, located in Mission, Kansas. “This technology allows us to provide our patients with advanced imaging services, potentially reducing wait times and improving the overall patient experience. We're excited to be at the forefront of this technological advancement in medical imaging.”
The Nanox.ARC is intended for use in professional healthcare ?facilities or ?radiological ?environments, such as ?hospitals, clinics, imaging ?centers and ?other medical practices?, and is operated by trained radiographers, radiologists and physicians. It is designed to allow easy and efficient integration into current clinical workflows. The Nanox.ARC has the potential benefits of reducing patient wait times, enabling faster care and more efficient diagnosis, while also potentially reducing the need to visit a separate imaging facility.
“Digital tomosynthesis provides added value in certain clinical situations. Musculoskeletal, thoracic and abdominal imaging all have use cases that may be best served by digital tomosynthesis compared to CT or radiography,” said Greg Kicska M.D., Ph.D, Assistant Professor at Harborview Medical Center and Nanox Advisory Board Member. “The Nanox system is also unique in that it doesn’t have as large a footprint as traditional X-ray machines, doesn’t require as much power and utilizes a matrix pattern that blurs out structural noise, making images more clean.”

Nanox Receives FDA Clearance for HealthCCSng V2.0, Upgraded Version of Advanced AI Cardiac Solution Empowering Physicians in Assessment of Coronary Artery Calcium
Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.
NANO-X IMAGING LTD (“Nanox” or the “Company,” Nasdaq: NNOX), an innovative medical imaging technology company, today announced that its deep-learning medical imaging analytics subsidiary, Nanox.AI, received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for HealthCCSng V2.0.
HealthCCSng V2.0 is the upgraded version of Nanox.AI’s cardiac solution, HealthCCSng, which has already shown tangible results in several healthcare systems, identifying patients at high risk of coronary artery disease while driving significant revenue to cardiology departments. It has also been seamlessly integrated with existing picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and electronic medical records (EMR) systems, and enabled timely and appropriate preventive care.
HealthCCSng utilizes medical imaging data from routine non-gated, non-contrast CT scans that include the entire heart of adult patients of ages 30-85 to automatically measure coronary artery calcium (CAC), which is the number one risk predictor for a future cardiovascular event. The product aims to leverage the high utilization of CT scans in the medical care environment, including lung cancer screening programs, to automatically detect calcification in the coronary arteries of patients in an opportunistic manner. Patients with the highest category of CAC levels are over 13 times more likely to suffer a cardiac event.
The device output is available to radiologists as part of their standard workflow. A list of studies that received a successful algorithm analysis result will also be available for further clinical assessment by cardiologists, general practitioners and other medical professionals.
HealthCCSng V2.0 introduces the following features that improve its ability to inform physicians and help them conduct the most appropriate risk assessment and subsequent preventative healthcare for patients:
Zero CAC Category: HealthCCSng now enables clinicians to easily distinguish between patients with zero and low CAC levels. CAC levels of zero are associated with very low risk of cardiac events. The new zero CAC category joins the previously featured ‘low’, ‘medium’ and ‘high’ CAC categories.
Numerical CAC Scoring: HealthCCSng now provides the numerical CAC score alongside the CAC category in its results interface, allowing clinicians to finetune their cardiac risk assessments of patients.
CAC Category Configuration: HealthCCSng now enables users to adjust the lower and upper bounds for the low (1-99 Hounsfield units (HU) by default), medium (100-399 HU by default) and high (400+ HU by default) categories of CAC scores. This added customization allows users to finetune their cardiac risk assessments of patients.
“We are pleased to receive another regulatory clearance from the FDA for our AI cardiac solution, with new updates that reflect our commitment to providing healthcare professionals with the tools they need,” said Erez Meltzer, Nanox Chief Executive Officer. “The AI cardiac solution helps to bridge the divide between radiology and cardiology, two medical specialties that often use different terms and descriptions to assess imaging data, and catches patients who might otherwise fall through the cracks so that they can be directed to appropriate preventative healthcare. We will continue exploring opportunities to seamlessly integrate our AI solutions with healthcare systems and clinician workflows, and ultimately enhance patient care and outcomes.”

Nanox Receives FDA Clearance for HealthFLD, an Advanced AI-Based Software Empowering Clinicians in Assessment of Fatty Liver
Nanox’s HealthFLD is pioneering the use of a fully automated AI software for liver attenuation analysis from CT scans that has received FDA 510(k) clearance for use in general population
Expands Nanox’s offering in AI solutions, marking third product in Nanox AI’s suite of population health solutions to become commercially available
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Feb. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ("Nanox" or the "Company," Nasdaq: NNOX), an innovative medical imaging technology company, today announced that its deep-learning medical imaging analytics subsidiary, Nanox AI Ltd., received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for HealthFLD, an artificial intelligence (AI) software that provides automated qualitative and quantitative analysis of liver attenuation from routine contrast and non-contrast chest and abdomen CT scans in patients between the ages of 18 to 75. HealthFLD is intended to support clinicians in the detection of fatty liver, correlated with hepatic steatosis, an early sign of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
An estimated 24% of U.S. adults are living with MASLD or NAFLDi, a metabolic disease linked to obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, all of which pose significant public health concerns. Adults with MASLD are not only at risk of developing severe liver complications, such as cirrhosis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but are also at risk of cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in people living with MASLDii. MASLD is commonly asymptomatic until it progresses to advanced liver fibrosis, and the current gold standard for diagnosis is a liver biopsy, which is invasive and costly. As such, early diagnosis of MASLD could benefit patients and the healthcare system.
While AI assessment of medical imaging offers a reliable, non-invasive, large-scale approach to support clinicians in the assessment of hepatic steatosis (fatty liver), it has traditionally been difficult to assess liver attenuation on contrast-enhanced scans – which make up a large proportion of CT scans – limiting the ability of clinicians to detect non-severe cases of MASLDiii. HealthFLD was designed to help clinicians in the assessment and analysis of fatty liver in the general population from routine CT scans.
Amidst rising obesity rates, the prevalence of liver-related disease is growing, and the need for an approved treatment for MASH has yet to be met. With several late-stage drug candidates for MASH in development and the availability of GLP-1 drugs for the management of type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases, identification of liver steatosis is especially relevant.
"We are proud to offer HealthFLD as the third product of Nanox AI’s suite of cutting-edge, AI-powered population health solutions designed to confront chronic diseases of great public health concern head-on and potentially improve health outcomes,” said Erez Meltzer, Chief Executive Officer of Nanox. “Furthermore, we believe that AI innovative solutions, and specifically HealthFLD, may deliver substantial advantages to the biopharmaceutical industry to streamline the identification of candidates for clinical trials of much-needed therapies for liver diseases including MASH. This regulatory decision solidifies our leadership as a developer of automated AI software medical devices.”
In a retrospective 2023 study of 2,917 patients, published in the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), the HealthFLD AI software demonstrated high performance in the detection of at least moderate hepatic steatosis in contrast-enhanced CT scans, with a sensitivity of 77.8% and specificity of 93.2% at less than 80 HU. Medical imaging offers the only reliable noninvasive method for quantifying liver fat. Integrating HealthFLD with widely used standard CT scans offers clinicians the potential to opportunistically screen for liver steatosis and possible signs of MASLD on a population level. “In recent years, automated, deep learning tools have offered an efficient, low-cost tool used to detect diseases in earlier stages,” said Perry J. Pickhardt, MD, of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine & Public Health, and lead author of the AJR study. “We are now at a watershed moment when metabolic diseases are growing in prevalence and more effective treatment options are becoming available. It’s promising to have a liver solution available that may help evaluate early signs of illness from routine imaging.”
The HealthFLD clearance is the third product across the Nanox AI suite of population health solutions to receive FDA clearance. The FDA previously cleared HealthCCSng, a solution that detects coronary artery calcium (CAC) that presents a risk for coronary artery disease, and HealthOST, a solution that assesses vertebral compression fractures and bone mineral density to support clinicians in the evaluation and assessment of musculoskeletal disease of the spine (such as osteoporosis).
About Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), refers to a group of metabolic conditions linked to obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. An estimated 30% of the adult population globally has MASLD,iv a major risk factor for chronic liver disease and for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of mortality in this patient population.v
