Mars Bioimaging and MediLumine announce a partnership to develop applications for small animal imaging and jointly announce the success of a pilot study using MediLumine’s contrast agents and the MARS color x-ray imaging system.
In this study, the MARS scanner simultaneously identified and quantified three MediLumine contrast agents, Fenestra VC, Mvivo Au, and Mvivo BIS in a phantom with vials of the contrast agents. The different contrast agents can be visualized in 3D and assigned different colors based on ability of MARS technology to detect differences in attenuation slopes and k-edge jumps.
The MARS scanner enables simultaneous visualization and quantification of contrast agents in vivo.
MediLumine and MARS will now work jointly on applications and related technical resources to facilitate small animal imaging research with contrast enhanced color x-ray imaging.
I'm really excited about this partnership as it combines the power of MARS quantitative imaging with the MediLumine's functional contrast agents. The combination of the two technologies greatly increases the opportunity for novel molecular imaging for pre-clinical researchers.
Working with MARS Bioimaging unlocks the potential of color x-ray imaging by providing a means to visualize disease in ways not yet imagined. Contrast enhanced color x-ray imaging will become a powerful tool in understanding human diseases and advancing drug discovery programs internationally.
