Revolutionizing MRI with LIVE imaging
United Imaging proudly introduces the uMR Ultra (510k pending; not available commercially in the U.S.), an advanced 3T MRI system that has the capability to observe and analyze body movement within the scan. This system provides visualizations of the body in motion with detailed visualizations.
The uMR Ultra integrates industry-leading specifications such as a high-gradient performance of 100mT/m at 200T/m/s, 192 receive channels, and up to 96-channel coil capabilities. Its advanced imaging technology effectively addresses the challenges of capturing movement, expanding the system's clinical applications.
Building on this foundation, the uAIFI.LIVE platform represents a dynamic imaging innovation specifically tailored for motion visualization. It leverages the AI capabilities of uAIFI -- already established as the foundation of United Imaging's MRI systems -- and incorporates specialized hardware features. This integration enables the transition of MRI from static "photography" to dynamic "videography."
The system also includes a new in-bore vision display offering real-time visual interaction and an advanced 3T MRI system that can observe and analyze body movement within the scan.
The introduction of the uMR Ultra at RSNA 2024 signifies a significant advancement in MRI technology.
Advancing Molecular Imaging with the uMI Panvivo
United Imaging will also showcase the uMI Panvivo, a new PET/CT platform that makes the latest technological advancements a clinical reality. With exceptional 219 ps TOF timing resolution, 2.9 mm NEMA spatial resolution and 181 cps/kBq effective sensitivity, the system delivers uncompromised clarity and lesion detectability, which may boost clinical confidence and capability. Powered by the uExcel Platform, a multi-dimensional molecular imaging technology platform, uMI Panvivo is highly intelligent, offering an intuitive and streamlined workflow to enhance clinical efficiency.
Its scalable architecture is ready to meet the ever-growing demand for molecular imaging, allowing medical professionals to scale up capacity and unlock the full potential of their clinical practice and research. Meanwhile, the air-cooled, compact design makes the uMI Panvivo truly accessible without the need for an equipment room. The patient-centric design with a large bore clearance and ambient lighting offers a comforting scan experience.
