You can also see the list of
documents you already requested more information about
for local high-resolution MR imaging using a miniature hand-held
probe incorporating all magnetic field sources and eliminating
the need for external magnets and a bulky and expensive MRI
scanner.
This breakthrough technology extends the unique
tissue-characterization capabilities of MRI to a whole new range
of clinical applications in medicine, such as detection and
staging of cancer in the prostate and colon, as well as
intravascular imaging. The primary application for TopSpin's
platform technology is the detection of coronary vulnerable
plaque - the underlying cause for sudden death and heart attacks.
Using TopSpin's MRI catheter during cardiac catheterization will
enable the interventional cardiologist to guide therapy to
vulnerable plaques and to potentially reduce cardiac event rates
- the world's leading cause of death.
