BioProtonics, Inc. is a small medical equipment manufacturer based in Santa Barbara, California. The company has developed µTexture, an MRI-based diagnostic that analyzes tissue texture at micrometer scales to detect early tissue changes associated with disease. The system is designed to integrate into standard MRI workflows and relies on software rather than new hardware, with operation accessible to scan technicians. It is described as minimally disruptive to imaging schedules, adding only a brief sequence to the MRI protocol. In 2019, a local collaborator partnered with BioProtonics to validate the µTexture technique's ability to assess tissue texture at micron resolution.
