Polarean, Ascend Imaging ink expanded Xenon MRI distribution deal

Commercial-stage lung MRI medical device developer Polarean Imaging has inked an expanded Xenon MRI distribution deal with Ascend Imaging.

Under the agreement, Ascend Imaging will continue in its role as a nonexclusive, independent representative, supporting the promotion and sale of Polarean's Xenon MRI platform, but the expansion will increase the territory to 19 U.S. states, up from four states in the original contract, the company said.
