BIPH Biophan Finalizes Exclusive License to Breakthrough Technology for MRI Visualization Inside Implanted Vascular Stents: "BIPH Biophan Finalizes Exclusive License to Breakthrough Technology for MRI Visualization Inside Implanted Vascular Stents
ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 2005--
Newest Biophan Solution Enables Highly Accurate MR Angiograms to Diagnose Vascular Health and Reduce Reliance on X-Ray Angiography
Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:BIPH), a developer of next-generation medical technology, has finalized an exclusive license with leading German biomedical researchers, Dr. Arno Bucker and Dr. Alexander Ruebben, for their breakthrough stent technology enabling accurate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in or around metallic stents. MRI has not been able to visualize the interior of metallic stents, because current generations of stents create image artifacts and do not allow visualization of the stent lumen. Procedures such as MR vessel wall imaging and plaque imaging are not possible in the stented vessel segments.
The new technology developed at the Radiology Department of Professor Gunther at the University Hospital in Aachen uses a special design and material. The imaging of stent interiors by traditional X-ray angiography requires an invasive procedure and only allows visualization of the vessel lumen. Biophan's newly licensed solution is designed to enable non-invasive, safer, less costly and more useful MRI-based imaging of stent interiors and the adjacent vessel walls. One possible additional advantage is that molecular research on the effects and physiology of drug eluting stents could be carried out non-invasively by MRI.
