Medipattern Vascular Technology Matches Gold Standard in Blinded Study
Visualize:Vascular(TM) correlates to MRA
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/22/12 -- Attention: Business/Financial Editors
The Medipattern Corporation ("Medipattern") (TSX VENTURE: MKI), congratulates authors Daniel Gurell, MD and Marc Prager, MD for their work comparing Visualize:Vascular™ to Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA). Their study shows that Visualize:Vascular's 3D luminal ultrasound visualization correlates well with MRA in a paper slated for presentation this coming weekend during the 2012 annual meeting of the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU), which is a sub-committee of the American College of Radiology. The blinded study uses the results of ultrasound scans from 100 consecutive carotid arteries. Qualifying cases were further evaluated using MRA. Results were then compared between the two technologies. A correlation of 99%, p less than .05 was found between the two imaging technologies. The results are statistically significant. Angiography is considered to be the gold standard in evaluating arterial integrity.
"Stroke is the leading cause of morbidity and the third leading cause of death. The first line of defense is the basic ultrasound Carotid Duplex Exam (CDE). Yet there are conditions when CDE is inhibited by artifacts, impacting results. Sensitivity and specificity of CDE results are statistically improved when used in conjunction with 3D Luminal Ultrasound Visualization (LUV), and may obviate the need for unnecessary additional testing allowing diseased patients to move more rapidly to definite therapy," commented Daniel Gurell, MD.
"We appreciate the effort of Dr. Gurell and Dr. Prager. Their efforts and enthusiasm for this technology made it a pleasure to work with their team. They provided a much needed opportunity to examine how our technology operated and differentiated itself in a real clinical setting. The experience has been vital to the development of our product," commented Jeff Collins, CEO of Medipattern. "Medipattern congratulates the doctors and their staff for creating an exacting head to head comparison of LUV and MRA. We appreciate all their efforts."
