Elucid, an AI medical technology company focused on providing physicians with a more precise view of atherosclerosis to drive patient-specific therapeutic decisions, has added several senior members to its clinical and commercial teams. The appointments have been made as Elucid continues preparations for the commercial launch of its FDA-cleared PlaqueIQTM image analysis software, which provides physicians with comprehensive patient, vessel and lesion-level plaque composition and quantification and offers potential insights on heart attack and stroke risk prediction and personalized treatment decisions.

Elucid has announced that Noridian will extend coverage for AI-enabled quantitative coronary plaque analysis, including its FDA-cleared PlaqueIQ™ image analysis software, beginning December 8, 2024. With this decision, five of the seven Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) will soon provide coverage for AI-enabled quantitative coronary plaque analysis, expanding accessibility to over 70 percent of eligible Medicare patients across the United States.

Elucid has announced that four of the seven Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) will extend coverage for AI-enabled quantitative coronary plaque analysis, including its FDA-cleared PlaqueIQTM image analysis software, beginning November 24, 2024. The updated policy will allow for Medicare patients whose claims are administered within the four MACs who present with acute or stable chest pain and no known history of cardiovascular disease to be assessed with AI-enabled plaque imaging software that can help physicians accurately diagnose and potentially personalize treatment for cardiovascular disease.

Elucid has announced it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its PlaqueIQ™ imaging analysis software to help physicians diagnose cardiovascular disease (CVD). PlaqueIQ is the first FDA-cleared non-invasive software that can objectively quantify and classify plaque morphology based on ground-truth histology, the gold standard for characterization of plaques. PlaqueIQ is designed to give physicians new, clinically validated information to help stratify patients and inform patient-specific treatment pathways.

Elucid, a pioneering AI medical technology company providing physicians with imaging analysis software based on ground truth histology to support treatment of cardiovascular disease, has named Kelly Huang, PhD, as president and chief executive officer (CEO). The appointment comes as Elucid continues to prepare for commercialization of its flagship plaque analysis software. Elucid’s PlaqueIQ is the only FDA-cleared computed tomography angiography (CTA) algorithm that objectively quantifies and characterizes plaque validated against ground truth histology, the gold standard for characterization of coronary plaques, as indicated by renowned pathologists.

SCCT2024 – Elucid, a pioneering AI medical technology company providing physicians with imaging analysis software based on ground truth histology to support diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, has initiated site recruitment for its Plaque as a Risk Factor for Evaluation of Vascular Events (PRE-VUE) CT Registry Study. The lead investigators for the study are Dr. Carlo De Cecco (Emory University, Atlanta) and Dr. Márton Kolossváry (Gottsegen National Cardiovascular Center, Budapest, Hungary).

Elucid, a pioneering medical technology company providing physicians with imaging analysis software based on ground truth histology to support treatment of cardiovascular disease, today announced it has moved its headquarters to 399 Boylston Street in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. The move into the modern space comes as Elucid grows and prepares for commercialization of its flagship plaque analysis software.

Elucid, a leading medical technology company providing physicians with AI-powered imaging analysis software to assess cardiovascular disease, today announced it has raised $80 million in Series C funding. The round was led by Elevage Medical Technologies, with additional participation from industry strategics and existing investors. With this funding, Elucid is poised to capitalize on the past year’s momentum and expand its commercialization efforts to provide physicians and patients with critical information to combat heart disease. This round brings the company’s total funding to $121 million since inception.

Elucid, a Boston-based medical technology company harnessing scientific imaging and artificial intelligence to enable the precise diagnosis and treatment of the world’s leading cause of death announced a new CPT code unique to its Plaque IQ technology for CT angiography.

Elucid, a medical technology company developing AI software to enable cardiovascular disease detection, expects newly issued guidelines will be a catalyst for non-invasive image, revolutionizing the way patients with coronary artery disease are diagnosed and treated.

Elucid, a medical technology company developing AI software for physicians to optimize the treatment of patients with known or suspected vascular disease, announced today that its founder Andrew Buckler will present findings from two separate studies at the virtual Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) 16th Annual Scientific Meeting. The studies demonstrate computed tomography angiography (CTA) analysis capabilities are expanded when using Elucid’s AI software to objectively quantify intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) as well as automatically determine histologically defined plaque stability phenotypes across all epicardial vessels.

Elucid, a medical technology company developing AI software to enable cardiovascular disease detection, today announced $8 Million in Series A financing led by MedTex Ventures and Global Health Impact Fund. New and existing investors Checkmate Capital, IAG Capital, BlueStone Venture Partners, University of Michigan - Wolverine Venture Fund, Willamette Valley Capital LLC, and Angel Physicians Fund also participated in the round.

Elucid, a medical technology company developing AI software for physicians to optimize the treatment of patients with known or suspected vascular disease, announced that first author and Elucid founder Andrew Buckler presented findings today from the EVAPORATE (Effect of Vascepa on Improving Coronary Atherosclerosis in People With High Triglycerides Taking Statin Therapy, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02926027) study at the live session “Late-Breaking Science: be the first to know!” for ESC Preventive Cardiology 2021. The presentation, entitled Effect of Icosapent Ethyl (IPE) on Changes in Coronary Plaque Morphology, details the effects of IPE on cardiovascular events and plaque characteristics using the ElucidVivo software on CT angiography (CTA). The ElucidVivo software is the first and only FDA-cleared arterial analysis tool designed to quantify morphology from CTA as if performed ex vivo by a cardiovascular pathologist.
