About Us

PHILOSOPHY AND TEAM

SOQUT-IMAGING IS A YOUNG “DEEP TECH” START-UP BASED IN BORDEAUX THAT DEVELOPS AN MRI BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION FOR MAFLD-MASH DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT THANKS TO OUR PATENTED TECHNOLOGY ELiBio®.  
OUR MISSION IS TO DEVELOP SIMPLE INTEGRATED MEDICAL IMAGING SOFTWARE HELPING DOCTORS TO MAKE EARLY, ACCURATE AND RELIABLE DIAGNOSIS.  
FROM THE OUTSET OF THE COMPANY, OUR PHILOSOPHY HAS BEEN TO PROVIDE CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY AT THE PATIENT'S BEDSIDE. OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE THROUGH EARLY DETECTION AND EFFECTIVE MONITORING.  
MAKING SOQUT-IMAGING TECHNOLOGY WIDELY AVAILABLE TO PATIENT AND CARE PROFESSIONAL IS PART OF THE “5P” APPROACH TO MEDICINE (PREDICTIVE, PREVENTIVE, PARTICIPATORY, PERSONALIZED AND PRECISION).

ELiBio® is a software solution dedicated to characterize liver health in patients suffering from metabolic liver diseases such as MAFLD (Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease) and MASH (Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis). It allows clinicians to visualize, measure, and monitor liver tissue composition (3D fat & iron content and 3D fibrosis presence and severity) from a single hold breathing MRI scan lasting less than 20 seconds.

THE TEAM

SoQut-Imaging is made up of a multidisciplinary team working together to deploy our proprietary technology.

Benoît Chardonnet
