uMI 550 PET/CT scanner

Thanks to generous donations, our MART PET Research Facility recently installed a United Imaging uMI 550 Digital High-Resolution PET/CT scanner, exclusively for research. This top-of-line combined scanner has a 24cm axial field of view, the capability of acquiring a whole-body scan within 8 minutes; consists of high-resolution digital PET with 2.9 mm NEMA resolution and 2.76 mm LYSO detectors, with the am 80-slice ultra-low noise CT component with 0.55 mm individual elements. This FOV lends to high system sensitivity to boost data acquisition and enable low dose PET scans. Additionally, this system offers advanced technologies such as time-of-flight, point spread function, HYPER iterative (ROSEM), HYPER focus, deep learning (AI) PET reconstructions, deviceless gating, metal artifact correction, and more.
