MagSense® Technology
8
Enabling Molecular Imaging
Imagionbiosystems.com
MagSense® Technology aims to transform how
medical imaging can detect and diagnose cancer
Non-invasive – a safe and non-surgical solution to detect
cancer
Conventional methods are not specific and can
only identify a region of interest
No radioactivity – uses bio-safe magnetic nanoparticles to
“tag” cancer cells
MagSense® nanoparticles produce a molecular
signature indicating the presence of a tumor
Specific – use of targeted imaging agent provides molecular
confirmation of the presence of cancer not just a suspicion
Platform technology – can be used for many cancers as well
as other diseases
9
How It Works
Imagionbiosystems.com
Bio-safe magnetic nanoparticles are attracted to the tumor
and detected
Patients are given a low dose injection of the nanoparticle
imaging agent
Targeting molecules affixed to the nanoparticles, ensure high
specificity for the cancer, and cause the nanoparticles to find and bind
to tumor cells
Once attached to the tumor the magnetic property of the particles is
detectable by magnetic sensors and can be imaged by MRI
The tiny nanoparticles are cleared by the body through the liver with
the iron core being “repurposed” to produce ferritin used in
hemoglobin production

Broad Commercial Applicability
MagSense® imaging agents can be
developed for many types of solid tumors
and can be used at multiple stages of
diagnosis including primary diagnosis,
1
Brain Cancer
2
Lung Cancer
3
Breast Cancer
staging, and monitoring the effectiveness
4 Ovarian Cancer
of therapy.
5 Prostate Cancer
Imagionbiosystems.com
Each type of cancer will have a unique and
specific formulation for the cancer of interest
creating a portfolio of imaging agents and a
recurring revenue stream for each indication of
use.
13
The Phase I Clinical Study
Imagionbiosystems.com
Detection of Nodal Metastases in
HER2+ Breast Cancer
No issues of safety or tolerability related to the
imaging agent reported to date
Data reported show the imaging agent results in
a detectable magnetic signature by both
imaging methods - MRI and MRX
Blinded review by independent expert panel of
radiologists has corroborated findings
Trial to remain open for enrolment during 2023
to provide additional data to inform future
study design and evaluate diagnostic
performance

MagSense Imaging with MRI
Imagionbiosystems.com
Changing the way we look at cancer
Pre-Dose T2
Data from the Phase I study indicates our molecularly targeted
nanoparticles could be effective in detecting nodal disease when used in
conjunction with conventional MRI scanners
Improves radiological review compared to standard of care use of
ultrasound and anatomical evaluation only
Works within current standard of care diagnosis and staging protocols with
MRI systems widely available in hospitals around the globe, making it
easier to undertake clinical studies, and making market access easier and
faster
MagSense®
nanoparticles
enable molecular
imaging by
producing an
identifiable change
in image contrast
when cancer cells
are present
Could eliminate unnecessary biopsies, or node removals, done today for
most patients (to confirm cancer whether node suspicious or negative)
reducing incidence of lymphedema and associated morbidity and reducing
time to clinical decision and treatment
Would save health providers US$ millions per year compared to the current
standard of care
