New System Order
Polarean Imaging plc (AIM: POLX), the medical-imaging technology
company, with a proprietary drug-device combination product for the
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) market, announces that it has
received its latest research unit order for a Polarean 9820 Xenon
Polariser system from the University of Kansas Medical Center
("KUMC").
KUMC is a major research and teaching hospital (see:
www.kumc.edu) and this polariser will form the cornerstone of a new
hyperpolarised 129Xe imaging research programme. Following receipt
of this order, the Company now has a total of 25 polarisers either
installed or on order.
Richard Hullihen, CEO of Polarean, said: "We are delighted to
begin our relationship with KUMC and look forward to a long and
mutually beneficial work programme which will aim to expand the
clinical and public health frontiers of hyperpolarised xenon
imaging."
Polarean products are currently being used at a number of
research sites on a pre-FDA clearance basis to facilitate the
research and evaluation of lung function. For more information on
the Polarean 9820 129Xe Hyperpolariser see:

About Polarean (www.polarean.com)
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Polarean, Inc.
(together the "Group") are revenue generating, medical drug-device
combination companies operating in the high resolution medical
imaging market.
The Group develops equipment that enables existing MRI systems
to achieve an improved level of pulmonary function imaging and
specialises in the use of hyperpolarised Xenon gas ((129) Xe) as an
imaging agent to visualise ventilation and gas exchange regionally
in the smallest airways of the lungs, the tissue barrier between
the lung and the bloodstream and in the pulmonary vasculature.
Xenon gas exhibits solubility and signal properties that enable it
to be imaged within other tissues and organs.
The Group operates in an area of significant unmet medical need
and the Group's technology provides a novel diagnostic approach,
offering a non-invasive and radiation-free functional imaging
platform which is more accurate and less harmful to the patient
than current methods. The annual burden of pulmonary disease in the
US is estimated to be over US$150 billion.
The Group also develops and manufactures high performance MRI
radiofrequency (RF) coils which are a required component for
imaging (129) Xe in the MRI system. The development of these coils
by the Group facilitates the adoption of the Xenon technology by
providing application-specific RF coils which optimise the imaging
of (129) Xe in MRI equipment for use as a medical diagnostic as
well as a method of monitoring the efficacy of therapeutic
intervention.
