Abla-Tx is a medical imaging software company founded in 2005 to develop real-time tools to monitor thermal ablation of tumors -- the use of heat to destroy tissue in medical procedures. Over the past five years, thermal ablation has emerged an attractive, minimally invasive surgical technique to treat solid tumors from selected liver, lung, kidney and bone cancer patients. Abla-Tx is refining and commercializing a patented method of monitoring temperature during thermal ablation in conjunction with CT and digital x-ray imaging to greatly enhance outcomes. The company is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. Flagship Managing Partner Ed Kania is on the board.
