OAKLAND, Calif., June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Promaxo, Inc. (“Promaxo” or the “Company”), a medical imaging, robotics, and AI technology company, today announced that its portable MRI system was featured in a peer-reviewed article focused on MR guidance for real-time interventions in oncology in a special issue of Cancers. The Promaxo low-field MRI system was exhibited as an innovative MRI system, with the authors noting the increasing role of MRI in minimally invasive (focal) treatment of prostate cancer (PCa).
The article, “Real-Time MRI-Guided Prostate Interventions”, reviews the role of MRI in detecting clinically significant PCa and the latest minimally invasive interventions utilizing interventional MRI methods in guiding localized PCa therapy. The authors conclude:
- The use of MRI for PCa interventions is the natural progression of the ability of MRI to accurately visualize clinically significant PCa lesions;
- Real-time MRI monitoring of PCa interventions is highly accurate and offers very tangible advantages over US-guidance; and
- With a dedicated interventional MRI, most of the main disadvantages of MR guidance for prostate procedures related to the ease of use, procedure time, availability, specialized equipment, and cost can be mitigated.
Dr. Sandeep Arora, corresponding author for the publication and Assistant Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at Yale School of Medicine said, "Promaxo's low-field portable MRI technology can potentially reduce MR–US (ultrasound) misregistration errors and be independent of the scheduling pressures of traditional, high field clinical MRI imaging systems."
“Our compact, Promaxo MRI system, which enables point of care biopsies and treatment, aims to advance the management of prostate cancer, the most common non-cutaneous cancer and the second most common cause of cancer deaths in American males,” said Dr. Amit Vohra, Founder and CEO of Promaxo. “We remain committed to building a body of clinical evidence that supports not only ease of use, but also diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of our In-office MRI technology in treating cancers.”
