Progress in Data Quality and growing interest
During the last quarter of 2024, we made continued progress in our Data Quality venture, with increasing industry interest confirming its transformative potential. At the same time, we are advancing discussions with key customers on strategic partnerships within Image Quality. These efforts set the stage for continued success in both our Image Quality and Data Quality businesses as we move into the coming year.
In the fourth quarter of the year, revenue increased compared to the same period last year, reaching 34.1 MSEK (33.2) – a growth of 2.8%, or 0.9 MSEK. The increase was largely driven by a sales push from a customer in Asia towards the end of the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter came in at 11.4 MSEK (6.4) with an adjusted EBITDA-margin of 33.4% (19.2) when adjusted for investments in Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) totaling 2.3 MSEK (6.7% of revenue). The increase in profitability is primarily attributed to a positive FX impact of 2.8 MSEK compared to the same quarter last year as well as an update in capitalization policy that affected Q4 2023. Looking ahead, we anticipate our cost base to remain higher than in previous years, though lower than this quarter, as administrative costs related to the share buy-back program and setting up an incentive plan framework are non-recurring. As we also relocated our headquarters this quarter, there were some non-recurring costs related to the office move, but the relocation will however lower our costs going forward.
For the full year we reached revenue of 130.7 MSEK (132.2), slightly below previous year, with an adjusted EBITDA of 45.8 MSEK (50,0). In December we executed a share buy-back offer totaling 1,2 million shares at a price of 6.5 NOK per share underlining our good cash position. We are hopeful 2025 will generate growth as we are cautiously optimistic about better market conditions.
A key highlight of Q4 was our participation at RSNA in Chicago, where we launched updates for Rivent Mobile and Smart Noise
Reduction for Altumira. The conference clearly demonstrated the industry's growing emphasis on quantitative imaging and AI-driven solutions, validating our strategic investments in these areas. Customer engagements at RSNA reached new highs, reflecting strong market interest in our innovations – not only in in our venture into Data Quality, but also in faster image processing.
Throughout the quarter, we have engaged in advanced discussions with key customers, including tier 1 OEMs, on strategic partnerships and collaborations. We anticipate these partnerships will translate into future revenues. In addition, we are working closely with customers to expand our professional service offering, positioning ourselves as a more integral part of their entire image processing chain. This initiative is expected to strengthen customer relationships and increase our share of wallet.
Regarding our venture into Data Quality, also referred to as POCUS, we are making steady progress. We are currently conducting tests, measurements and experiments, further validating our approach. After the quarter, we reached a significant milestone, signing a partnership with the University of Washington to enter clinical research aiming to develop AI-based solutions that can interpret organ-specific data. The project goal is to develop digital biomarkers that assist in early disease detection and monitoring of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MALSLD). This partnership represents the next step in our commitment to leveraging technology for clinical advancements and shaping a new product line within Data Quality, with the potential for future expansion to additional diseases and organs. It positions to deliver diagnostic quality
beyond visualization and quantification for medical imaging making imaging less user dependent, reinforcing our leadership in this evolving field.
Overall, 2024 has been a year of strategic progress and execution, and I am confident in our trajectory. I want to extend my gratitude to our team, customers, partners and other stakeholders for their continued trust and collaboration.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to driving innovation and sustainable growth. I look forward to communicating more updates on our journey and seeing what we can achieve together in 2025.

Data Quality and Point-of-care ultrasound
Point of Care Ultrasound
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is when ultrasound is used for near-patient testing, directly in the care setting to quickly diagnose a patient's condition. This facilitates early identification of various health conditions that are today usually diagnosed later in specialist care.
Today, there are 110 million people in North America alone who suffer from a chronic condition, which translates into 800 billion USD spent on healthcare. Following the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, escalating costs, and growing pressure on healthcare staff – there is a clear and pressing need for a transformation in care pathways and reduced involvement of specialised readers. In this context, leveraging data quality in POCUS and quantitative machine-aided diagnostics could significantly transform and improve healthcare efficiency and patient outcomes.
ContextVision's Approach to Data Quality
Our strategic entry into POCUS and data quality builds on our extensive expertise in medical image quality to optimize images for visual diagnostic interpretation. We specialize in the use of advanced image processing algorithms and artificial intelligence to achieve reliable and consistent quality in ultrasound images – a solid base for diagnostic confidence as well as for accurate analysis and measurements. Context Vision is specifically targeting compact ultrasound systems with organ-specific applications.
Building a Research Ecosystem to Advance MASLD Diagnostics
In early 2025, we signed a partnership agreement with the University of Washington (Seattle, WA), globally renowned for its medical and scientific research. Together, we aim to revolutionize the early detection and staging of metabolic dysfunctionassociated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a serious liver condition affecting hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide.
Our primary objective in this collaboration is to develop a multiparameter biomarker that enables accurate and early detection of MASLD. By utilizing the combination of clinical data and AI-driven analysis, we aim to give healthcare providers a tool capable of screening and staging liver disease with great precision. This could greatly improve patient outcomes by identifying the disease at an earlier, reversible stage. Furthermore, the development of this biomarker sets a foundation for exploring digital biomarkers in other organ systems, paving the way for a comprehensive suite of diagnostic solutions in the future. By improving image analysis and automating the interpretation of ultrasound images, we see an opportunity to make ultrasound diagnostics more accessible and accurate, which can have a significant impact on the diagnosis and follow-up of liver diseases. For instance, in North America, this disease ranks as the second leading cause for adult liver transplantation and the third most common cause of liver cancer.
Business Model and Revenue Streams
ContextVision has a well-established business model as an industry leader in image enhancement for medical imaging and a long-term partner to some of the largest manufacturers of ultrasound systems. These strong ties provide us with a solid foundation for continued growth, especially within the POCUS segment as a new business area offering a transformative growth potential. Our revenue streams generally come from licensing our software to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and integrating our technology into their devices. It is a scalable and cost-effective strategy that lets us concentrate on research and development - the core of our business - while giving our partners the opportunity to offer more competitive products in the market.
Our growth strategy for Data Quality specifically, still under refinement as we develop the technology, also includes strategic exploration of potential partnerships, possibly supplemented by mergers and acquisitions. We are committed to investing up to ten percent of our revenues into developing multiparameter digital biomarkers organically and building organ-specific applications aimed at streamlining disease management.
ContextVision's entry in Data Quality and POCUS is a natural extension of our image quality business. With our deep expertise and strong partnerships in the fields of ultrasound, X-ray, and MRI, we are ideally positioned for growth and poised to take a leading role in a field that is set to revolutionize the future of diagnostics.
Financial information
Fourth Quarter 2024
Revenue
- ContextVision's revenue in the fourth quarter amounted to 34.1 MSEK (33.2). This represents an increase of 2.8% compared to the same quarter previous year. The increase can be explained by a sales push from a customer in Asia towards the end of the quarter.
- Revenue for the full year 2024 amounted to 130.7 MSEK (132.2). The decrease can be explained by favorable conditions in 2023 and a somewhat hesitant market in 2024.
- The currency exchange rates had an effect on sales of 2.4% in the quarter and a flat effect on the full year.
Expenses
- Other external costs for the quarter amounted to 10.4 MSEK (9.8) where the increase is due to higher general and administrative costs. For the full year, other external costs amounted to 34.3 MSEK (28.0) and the increase can be explained by generally higher administrative costs during 2024.
- Employee benefits amounted to 14.9 MSEK (14.8) in Q4, in line with the same period last year. For the full year employee benefits amounted to 56.6 MSEK (49.6). Since the end of 2023 we have made recruits and shifted towards more experienced employees following our growth strategy.
