Description: Check-Cap Ltd. is a clinical-stage medical diagnostics company. The company is engaged in the development of an ingestible imaging capsule that utilizes low-dose X-rays for the screening for colorectal cancer (CRC).

The company’s imaging capsule consists of an X-ray source and several X-ray detectors. The company’s imaging capsule is designed to create a reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) image of the colon and to enable detection of clinically polyps. The company has also designed a Capsule Positioning System (CPS) for a complete view of capsule positioning and motility, which is mounted on the patient’s back throughout the entire procedure. The CPS is designed to provide the physician with localization data aligned with a reconstructed image.
