Description

MI is a developer of molecular imaging technology that addresses clinical and translational research challenges. Their groundbreaking magnetic particle imaging (MPI) enables quantitative cell tracking, vascular function imaging, metastatic tumor detection, inflammation visualization, CAR-T cell therapy, and regenerative medicine research. Unlike other imaging technologies, MPI offers real-time monitoring of biological events, allowing clinics to overcome current research imaging limitations. By harnessing nanotechnology, MI's functional imaging modality provides specific, direct, and precise visualization and quantitation of biomarkers, blood flow, and vascular architecture, with exceptional sensitivity and resolution.
