Marketwired
MONTREAL, CANADA (TSX: ARA), a Canadian medical device company
and a leader in optical molecular imaging products for the
healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, will be exhibiting at the
Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research
(AACR), April 13-16, in San Diego, CA. ART will showcase its
preclinical product offering, including current research in the
oncological and pharmacokinetics fields using the Optix� MX2
optical imaging device, as well as the Fenestra� line of contrast
agents for microCT imaging, at its booth (#1007) located in the San
Diego Convention Center.
The Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer
Research (AACR) is the world's largest and most comprehensive
gathering of professionals in the cancer field, encompassing basic,
translational, and clinical research. This prestigious annual event
highlights the latest developments in cancer research and is
attended by over 17,000 delegates from universities, research
institutions and the pharmaceutical industry.
About the Optix� system
Based on time-domain technology, which allows measurement of the
light's time of arrival, the Optix� in vivo optical molecular
imaging device is the most sensitive optical imager commercially
available on the preclinical market, allowing for detection of
lower concentrations of signals deeper inside the body. Unique to
the Optix system is the ability to recover fluorescence lifetime,
which can be used to separate and quantify probe distributions
depending on their respective biochemical environment. Also part of
the Optix product offering is a new CT fusion software package
allowing researchers to export the scan obtained using Optix in
DICOM format, and fuse it with microCT for a full 3D anatomical
reference.
