London-listed Polarean Imaging (AIM:POLX) said they have delivered and installed its latest research unit order for a 9820 Xenon Polariser system.
In a statement, the medical-imaging technology group detailed that the order was placed by the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics which annually admits about 37,000 patients for in-patient hospital care.
The total number of the company’s polarisers that are either installed or on order stand at 25, Polarean explained.
"I am delighted that we have delivered and installed another polariser, to be used by pulmonology researchers at this well-regarded teaching hospital,” said Richard Hullihen, CEO of Polarean.
He added, “The University of Iowa has a long history in medical imaging research and we are excited at the prospect of beginning a new chapter in hyperpolarized xenon cardiopulmonary imaging with them.”
The company’s last system delivery for a 9820 Xenon Polariser system occurred in November this year and was delivered to the University of British Columbia.
Polarean operates in an area of ‘significant unmet medical need’ offering radiation-free functional imaging platform considered more accurate and less harmful to the patient than current methods.
