Durham, NC, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polarean (AIM: POLX) (“Polarean” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device leader in advanced MRI scanning of the lungs, announces it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Company’s specialized MRI chest coil to now include Philips 3.0T MRI scanners for the visualization of the Xenon-129 (129Xe) nuclei. The Polarean XENOVIEW™ 3.0T Chest Coil is a flexible, single channel, transmit-receive RF coil tuned to image 129Xe nuclei while a patient is positioned inside a multinuclei-capable MRI scanner.
