A poster presentation at this week’s International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) conference in Toronto reported that a thin-film nanomagnetic particle-coating technology developed by Biophan Technologies of West Henrietta, NY, can help to reduce the image artifacts typically caused by metallic medical devices.
The poster, "Susceptibility and RF-inhomogeneity Artifacts of Nanoparticulate Coatings for Intraluminal Guide Wires and Catheters," authored by research scientists from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY; Alfred University in Alfred, NY; and Biophan Technologies, also presented data showing that catheters, guidewires, and other devices coated with the nanomagnetic particle technology have improved MRI visualization.
