("Polarean" or the "Company")
New System Order
Polarean Imaging plc (AIM: POLX), the medical-imaging technology
company, with an investigational proprietary drug-device
combination product for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
market, announces the Company has received its latest research unit
order for a 9820 Xenon Polariser system from the University of
Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ("MD Anderson Cancer Center").
MD Anderson Cancer Center is a major cancer research and
teaching hospital. This new unit will initiate their research
programme using hyperpolarised noble gas imaging in oncology,
including assessing lung function as consequence of chemotherapy
and radiation therapies, and providing guidance for improved
radiation treatment planning, among other topics.
Richard Hullihen, CEO of Polarean, said: "We are excited to
begin our relationship with MD Anderson Cancer Center who have
pioneered such a breadth of oncology applications for medical
imaging for this patient population, and welcome them to the group
of our users researching the use of hyperpolarised 129 Xe in
pulmonary function."
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes
of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014.

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.
