TopSpin nabs first commercial install for intravascular MRI

Topspin Medical in Lod, Israel, has installed its Cathamaran Intravascular MRI System at ZOL Hospital in Genk, Belgium.

ZOL Hospital said the system will be used in a post-market study of coronary plaque lipid characterization by IVMRI performed during diagnostic or interventional catheterization [MIRACLE study], which is designed to collect data on a widespread post-market clinical experience to evaluate how lipid quantification with the IVMRI System may be used to guide patient treatment.

TopSpin said it expects to install additional Cathamaran Intravascular MRI Systems in the Benelux territory in the course of the current quarter.
