About Modulim

Modulim is a pioneer in subsurface optical imaging powered by SFDI, an advanced imaging technique co-invented by founder and CTO David Cuccia, Ph.D. SFDI is a noninvasive tissue oxygen saturation technology that combines structured illumination with multiple wavelengths of light (visible and near-infrared) to allow for deeper and layer-specific assessment of tissue oxygenation and hemoglobin. This unique technology deciphers the reflection, absorbance, and scattering of light in tissue. The new Clarifi® Imaging System, powered by SFDI, is indicated for measuring tissue oxygenation in patients with potential circulatory compromise. It is easy and affordable for clinicians to integrate into their practice, with a Current Procedural Technology (CPT®) Proprietary Analyses (PLA) code (0061U).
