The NMPA’s approval of ESCOPE esFFR technology is a significant turning point in the company’s pursuit of product research and development. Soon, a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular imaging products will be available for structural and functional analysis. We will keep creating cutting-edge computational medicine products, offering more comprehensive and systematic information technology supports for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and ultimately supporting Health China 2030 by advancing the field of precision medicine and safeguarding people’s lives and health.


Interface of ESCOPE esFFR 


The approved ESCOPE esFFR is a coronary vessel analysis system that performs fully automated image reconstruction and flow reserve fraction calculation based on CCTA. In less than 5 minutes, ESCOPE esFFR can automatically finish the 3D reconstruction of coronary arteries and deliver patient-specific FFR values for the entire coronary tree. Since the fully automated analysis system is free of human intervention and simple to use, data bias brought on by manual operations is considerably reduced. In the meantime, ESCOPE esFFR avoids the privacy risks associated with medical data breaches. Although automation and accuracy are mutually exclusive concepts most of the time, accuracy is not sacrificed in the pursuit of automation. With the invasive FFR as the gold standard, the overall accuracy is as high as 93.3%.
