Through this process we can see major benefits in the way that Salix can provide accurate, point-of-care interpretation of CCTA scans within minutes, enabling our team to deliver faster, more precise diagnoses for our patients. Moving forward we believe this will advance patient care across our network. Artrya shares are now up approximately 80% over the past three months.
