Strategic Imaging Excellence Across Two Continents 

Our Paris facility features the Aquilion Prime SP CT scanner by Canon Medical Systems, paired with advanced 3mensio Structural Heart software. This combination delivers: 

  • Superior cardiovascular imaging resolution 
  • Enhanced preoperative planning capabilities 
  • Precise postoperative device assessment 
  • Comprehensive structural heart analysis 
Meanwhile, our Atlanta facility houses the GE LightSpeed VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner with cardiac gating capabilities, offering: 

  • Real-time 3D anatomical imaging 
  • Intraoperative scanning capabilities 
  • Mobile platform flexibility for procedural work 
  • Cost-effective testing protocols 

Advancing Preclinical Research Through Technology 

The integration of these advanced CT systems has revolutionized our preclinical testing capabilities: 

  • Accelerated development timelines 
  • Reduced costs between milestones 
  • Enhanced safety assessment protocols 
  • Improved efficacy validation 
“The ability to execute cardiac cath lab preclinical programs combined with electrophysiology is exceedingly rare. [Veranex] has the infrastructure and expertise to make it happen.”

Quality Assurance and Regulatory Compliance 

Our imaging capabilities support: 

  • Feasibility studies 
  • Proof of concept validation 
  • Safety assessments 
  • GLP medical device testing 
  • Small and large model studies 

These comprehensive services span all therapeutic areas, ensuring thorough evaluation of medical technologies before human trials. 

“This kind of immediate access to this technology means the data generated is no longer cost prohibitive to many of our customers and prospects. It can also significantly reduce the number of very expensive days between milestones for medtech innovators once the ball gets rolling.”
