ContextVision partners with BeamWorks to advance AI-powered quantitative ultrasound imaging solutions
ContextVision, a global leader in medical imaging software, announces a strategic research and development collaboration with BeamWorks Inc., a South Korea-based medical AI company specializing in deep learning technologies for real-time point-of-care diagnostics. The partnership will support ContextVision's Data Quality initiative by combining the companies' technology platforms to co-develop and commercialize quantitative ultrasound solutions.
The collaboration brings together ContextVision's expertise in ultrasound image processing with BeamWorks' deep learning platform. The companies aim to conduct joint R&D projects to develop and commercialize ultrasound-based digital biomarkers that support point-of-care clinical decision-making.
In 2025, ContextVision initiated a quantitative ultrasound program to identify a multiparameter biomarker for screening and staging of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). As part of the initiative, ContextVision set up several partnerships to augment its technical and clinical expertise in ultrasound imaging. Also in 2025, BeamWorks launched its first product line, the CadAI series (CadAI-B for breast and CadAI-T for thyroid). These on-device real-time AI solutions support ultrasound diagnostics by detecting suspicious lesions and assisting clinicians with lesion categorization as well as malignancy scoring. Through their collaboration, ContextVision and BeamWorks aim to leverage their respective capabilities and portfolios to co-develop and commercialize AI-powered quantitative ultrasound solutions, focused on MASLD, breast cancer, thyroid nodule screening, as well as across additional clinical applications.
"We are excited to collaborate with ContextVision, a recognized global leader in medical imaging software," said Jaeil Kim and Won Hwa Kim, Co-CEOs of BeamWorks Inc. "This partnership combines our deep learning AI platform with ContextVision's ultrasound imaging chain expertise, creating new opportunities to advance quantitative ultrasound technologies and support clinicians with improved diagnostic capabilities."
"Strategic collaborations are a key part of expanding our portfolio with quantitative imaging solutions, offering our customer base new solutions with significant value propositions in aiding diagnostic accuracy and treatment monitoring" said Gerald Pötzsch, CEO of ContextVision. "BeamWorks brings strong expertise in AI-based medical image analysis. By combining our technologies, we aim to accelerate the development of quantitative ultrasound imaging solutions that can deliver meaningful diagnostic insights directly at the point-of-care."
