Maui Imaging Secures $4M DOD Contract, Emerges from Stealth

Maui Imaging, a Tucson-based startup, has emerged from stealth mode with a $4 million DOD contract. The company has been building an ultrasound system capable of visualizing the anatomy that others cannot.

MAUI was founded in 2006, bringing together experts in the fields of sonar, radar, electrical engineering, and medical imaging. With experts in line, the startup began their research, building their breakthrough Computed Echo Tomography (CET).

Since their founding, they have achieved more than 160 U.S. and international patents. Their latest, FDA cleared product has caught the attention of the Department of Defense. Their K3900 imaging system is being tested to aid military medical personnel in diagnosing and treating traumatic injuries.

One crucial application being tested by the DOD and clinical studies is thanks to the technology’s ability to image through the skull without a significant fracture or surgically removing bone. This would be beneficial when soldiers need clinical insight but cannot access advanced imaging.
