ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2004

Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
: BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ) an innovator, developer and marketer of MRI-related and other advanced biomedical technology Biomedical technology involves the application of engineering and technology principles to the domain of living or biological systems. Usually biomedical denotes a greater stress on problems related to human health and diseases. , announced today that it will present at the Nano/Bio Convergence 2004 Conference. The conference will focus on the inevitable convergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology, and will take place March 28-30, 2004 at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, MA.

The Conference covers applications of nanobiotechnology: molecular diagnostics, molecular imaging, drug discovery, development, and delivery.

NanoView(TM), Biophan's new, recently announced technology, will utilize nanomagnetic particles as contrast agents that preferentially bind to tissues of diagnostic interest, creating improved detail and contrast in images. NanoView is intended to improve signal intensity and permit the use of multiple markers.

This product expansion is part of Biophan's strategy to improve the utility of MRI 1. (application) MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

 devices safe and image compatible for use with MRI. Biophan's biomagnetic particle technology has been shown to have unique signature capabilities that can be used in MRI contrast agents. See http://www.biophan.com/release_071503.php.

Medical Diagnostics benefit significantly from the rapid growth of Magnetic Resonance Imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures.  (MRI) technology. However, several million people who have implants such as pacemakers have been denied the benefit of MRI diagnostics, due to the risk of injury or death. The field of interventional medicine and minimally invasive surgery minimally invasive surgery Laparoscopic surgery, see there. See Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.  is also limited in its ability to use MRI, due both to patient safety and to interference with image quality caused by surgical tools.
