Molecular imaging, which uses radiopharmaceutical agents injected into the body to image physiologic function and disease, continues to grow as a field for scientific discovery and diagnosis. "At United Imaging, we are committed to investing in these next-generation technologies that can support the academic mission for scientific discovery and provide equal healthcare for all," says Jeffrey Bundy, PhD, CEO of United Imaging in North America. United Imaging created the first total-body PET/CT, the uEXPLORER, in 2019, through the NIH-funded Explorer consortium between U.C. Davis, and the University of Pennsylvania. The new uMI Panorama GS is the second such long-axial FOV PET/CT system from United Imaging. Abram Voorhees, PhD, Senior Director of Academic Alliances emphasizes the importance of this collaboration: "We are excited to support the vision at the Martinos Center and believe that this work will yield both a greater understanding of the body and new clinical applications for advanced whole-body PET/CT at MGB." The uMI Panorama GS is planned to be operational in the summer of 2025.
