Magnetic Insight is a pioneer and manufacturer of Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) systems for preclinical research and clinical applications. The company develops non-radioactive tracer imaging technology that serves as an alternative to nuclear medicine imaging, eliminating the need for radioactive tracers produced in reactors. Its Momentum MPI scanner utilizes a high-field gradient main magnet and x-space image reconstruction to produce images, while its super-paramagnetic iron oxide tracers enable cell tracking, vascular imaging, and lymph node mapping. Magnetic Insight is advancing into clinical applications including sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and cellular imaging. The company partners with leading research institutions worldwide including MD Anderson, Stanford University, and multiple preclinical research centers. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Alameda, California, Magnetic Insight has raised $38 million in Series B funding from investors including 5AM Ventures, Celesta Capital, Sand Hill Angels, Alumni Ventures, and StartX.
