Thoracentes Inc. is pleased to announce that an article featuring “Medical Imaging Software TH-ZEY,” developed by our company, was published in the morning edition of The Yomiuri Shimbun on August 18, 2026 (page 23).

The article introduces “Medical Imaging Software TH-ZEY” as a support technology for thoracic drainage performed after lung cancer surgery. The software displays 3D images reconstructed from CT images on an XR device, allowing physicians to confirm the patient’s internal anatomy while carrying out the procedure.

The article also covers the background to the development of the software, its certification as a medical device, and our initiatives toward its wider adoption.

Through the wider adoption and further development of “Medical Imaging Software TH-ZEY,” Thoracentes Inc. remains committed to helping improve safety in clinical settings and reduce the burden on healthcare professionals.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support of Thoracentes Inc.
