Radialis Medical developed and built an innovative PET imager that's received regulatory approval in the U.S.
THUNDER BAY — A successful clinical trial has helped clear the way for a Thunder Bay medical technology company to sell its pioneering positron emission tomography imaging device in the United States.
Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre received almost $500,000 in funding last year from its fundraising arm to locate a Radialis unit there as well. It's a very competitive field, and companies are reluctant to disclose details of their operations, but Radialis is currently believed to have a staff of about 10.Alla Reznik, chief scientific officer at Radialis and Canada Research Chair in physics of molecular imaging at Lakehead University, led the development of the underlying technology for the new PET imager as an alternative to mammograms, which can be painful and are not always efficient at screening patients for breast cancer.
The imager also shows potential for visualizing other cancers such as prostate and head-and-neck cancers.
