The Facts
Some key facts about our technology:
| Therapy monitoring |  |
Measure reduction of cells during therapy |
| Hyperthermia capable | |
Targeted hyperthermia using the same NP |
| Multifunctional NP capability | |
Anticancer drugs, other molecules |
| Concentrated drug delivery | |
Same NP magnetically concentrated |
| Requires minimal injection | |
< 0.001 allowable iron injection |
| Results to clinician in minutes | |
Fast data analysis routines |
| May be used repeatedly | |
For targeting different cell types |
| Inexpensive | |
One-fifth the cost of an MRI or PET scan |
| No ionizing radiation or high fields | |
Unlike X-rays or MRI |
| Fast | |
Typical 5 min scan, 30 min for an MRI |
| Applicability in other diseases | |
Transplant rejection, Alzheimer’s, etc |
| High applicability in cancer | |
Breast, ovarian, prostate, etc |
| Good localization, multiple sources | |
Sources to 0.5 mm, resolve to 1 cm |
| Tissue, bone are transparent | |
Tissue and bone complicate other imaging technologies |
| Specific only to targeted cells | |
No false positives |
| Sensitive only to bound NP | |
Not true for MRI and PET |
| Linear magnetic moment | |
Can count cells while MRI saturates |
| High Sensitivity | |
< 30,000 cells detectable |
