SCANCO Medical

SCANCO Medical is a Swiss medical device and life science tools company focused on high-resolution micro-computed tomography systems for specimen, preclinical, and clinical imaging. Its products combine microCT scanners with computing, reconstruction, 3D analysis, and visualization software, and are used broadly by academic, industrial, and healthcare institutions. The company is especially well known in bone research and clinical high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), including systems used for osteoporosis assessment and treatment monitoring. In addition to instrument sales, SCANCO Medical provides scanning, analysis, consulting, maintenance, updates, training, and technical support services. The company also serves industrial and materials applications, but its core relevance to healthcare is in research and clinical imaging infrastructure rather than therapeutics.
