Medic Vision Brain Technologies of Haifa, Israel, has raised $1 million in a financing round with private investors.
Founded in 2006, Medic Vision is developing a system to reduce ionizing radiation caused by CT scans by as much as 80%. The technology, called SafeCT, will enable the medical community to continue to benefit from the advantages of CT images while dramatically reducing the associated risks from harmful radiation, according to the firm. The system is being evaluated at the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.
The financing will allow Medic Vision to seek regulatory clearance for SafeCT from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
