More than one third of the U.S. screening age population avoids standard screening procedures such as colonoscopy, C-Scan has the potential to offer a more patient-friendly option, enabling people to get the screening they need.


How does C-Scan work?
Once the ingestible capsule C-Scan Cap is swallowed, it travels naturally along the gastrointestinal tract while scanning the inner lining of the colon. C-Scan Cap actively communicates with the second element of the system, C-Scan Track, which records and stores the scanning data. When the screening procedure is over, C-Scan Cap will be excreted naturally, the patient is notified, and the scanning data can be analyzed by using our proprietary software, C-Scan View.

C-Scan Cap
- Ingestible capsule
- Emission of ultra-low dose X-ray beams
- Scanning of gastrointestinal tract
- Autonomous and natural passage through the gastrointestinal tract
- Total X-ray exposure dose similar to that of a single chest radiography

C-Scan Track
- Three miniaturized patches worn on the patient’s back
- Integrated positioning, control and recording system
- Continuous recording and storage of C-Scan Cap’s information

C-Scan View
- Cloud based analysis suite allows physicians to analyze data anywhere
- Construction of 2D and 3D maps of the inner surface of the colon
- Pre-analysis and bookmarking of suspicious findings by an expert technician



Clinical Evidence of C-Scan Performance
In a multi-center, open label prospective study performed in Israel, the C-Scan System demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity at detecting polyps before they may transform into cancer. The study was designed to determine the performance of the C-Scan System compared with FIT (fecal immunochemical test), a commonly used non-invasive colorectal cancer screening test; with colonoscopy as the reference method.

- Sensitivity – ability to correctly identify patients with polyps
- Specificity – ability to correctly identify patients with lack of polyps
