July 26, 2007 - Victor, NY - New Scale
Technologies, Inc. today announced that an MRI-compatible drug
delivery pump based on its piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motor has been
successfully demonstrated by researchers at Roswell Park Cancer
Institute of Buffalo, NY.
The unique design of the patented SQUIGGLE motor allowed the drug
delivery pump to be placed near the subject during scanning,
enabling precise delivery of low doses of MRI contrast media in real
time during data acquisition. The SQUIGGLE motor was unaffected by
the strong magnetic fields of the MRI system, and did not produce
artifacts in the MRI image during operation.
A description of the drug delivery pump, MRI environment and test
results was published in the April issue of Bioscience Technology.
