The Stereotaxis NIOBE System is used to treat coronary artery disease and abnormal heart rhythms known as arrhythmias. Via digital remote control, doctors steer catheters, guidewires, and stent delivery devices through blood vessels all the way to the chambers of the heart (and all the way back out, if necessary) in a procedure that is less invasive than traditional heart bypass surgery. Stereotaxis markets the cardiology instrument control system to interventional surgery labs (or "cath labs"), research hospitals, and large commercial medical centers worldwide.

Some people would say that DCI began when the doors to the first clinic were opened. Some would also say that's starting in the middle. The true beginning lies in the heartbreaks and successes of early dialysis. In 1943, during the time of World War II, Willem Kolff invented the first practical dialysis machine, the rotating drum. Kolff's invention was revised and redeveloped and even inspired others to create new dialysis machines and tools. By 1948 the Kolff-Brigham Dialysis Machine and the Skeggs Leonards Plate Dialyzer were created.

It's not quite the Fantastic Voyage, but Given Imaging's PillCam is in the same genre. The company makes the Given System, one component of which is the PillCam, an ingestible capsule with an enclosed miniature video camera that takes photos of a patient's intestines or esophagus. As the PillCam moves through a patient's system, it transmits images to a wireless data recorder. The FDA-approved system, which also includes a computer workstation and imaging software, is a noninvasive alternative to traditional endoscopy. Given Imaging markets the system to gastroenterologists and hospitals worldwide. Discount Investment Corporation and its minority-owned subsidiary Elron Electronic own about 40% of the firm.
