About Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, is a scientifically stimulating symposium for physicians and other healthcare professionals who specialize in the field of interventional vascular therapy. Building upon the success of previous TCTs, live cases will continue to be the core of the TCT conference experience. More than 60 hours of live cases originating in 27 US and international centers are planned, and will be presented simultaneously in 4 separate venues. Additional highlights of TCT 2005 include late-breaking trials, more than 600 original oral and poster abstract presentations, 9 scientific symposia, and much more. As always, TCT will stress evidence-based medicine evidence-based medicine Decision-making 'The use of scientific data to confirm that proposed diagnostic or therapeutic procedures are appropriate in light of their high probability of producing the best and most favorable outcome'. See Meta-analysis. , with an emphasis on clinical trials and controlled registry data to guide clinical patient care, and which are likely to impact future practice patterns.

About Biophan Technologies Biophan develops and markets cutting-edge technologies designed to make biomedical devices safe and image compatible with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. The Company develops technologies that enable implanted medical systems such as pacemakers, interventional surgical devices such as catheters and guidewires, and devices such as stents to be safely and effectively imaged under MRI. Biophan is developing these same technologies to provide new MRI contrast agents. Other applications include drug delivery and power systems derived from body heat. Four Biophan technologies include advances in nanotechnology and thin film coatings. Committed to growth through innovation and developmental leadership, Biophan and its licensors now hold a total of 156 U.S. patents, licenses, or applications. This total includes 42 issued U.S. patents, 8 recently-allowed applications that will issue as patents in the near future, and 106 pending applications at various stages of examination at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, plus international applications. The patents cover areas including nanotechnology (nanomagnetic particle coatings), medical device designs, radio frequency filters, polymer composites, thermoelectric ther·mo·e·lec·tric also ther·mo·e·lec·tri·cal adj. Characteristic of, resulting from, or using electrical phenomena occurring in conjunction with a flow of heat. materials for batteries generating power from body heat, and photonics. Biophan has joint development and licensing agreements with Boston Scientific and NASA's Ames Center for Nanotechnology. Biophan's goal is to make all biomedical devices capable of safely and successfully working with MRI, and delivering other technologies which will improve quality of life.
