OverviewThe uMI 780 is an integrated PET/CT scanner combining a long axial field of view digital PET and a 160-slice CT to support high-resolution whole-organ and whole-body molecular imaging with reduced tracer dose and fast workflows.
Key value proposition- Integrated PET/CT: combined digital PET and 160-slice CT for coordinated anatomical and molecular imaging.
- Extended axial coverage: 30 cm axial FOV enabling fewer bed positions for whole-body and organ-level studies.
- Dose efficiency: high system sensitivity supports lower tracer injection while preserving image quality.
- Clinical throughput: axial coverage and detector design enable faster whole-body acquisitions and streamlined workflows.
Technology highlights- 112-ring digital PET with Integrated‑Light‑Guide detector for improved light collection and spatial fidelity.
- SiPM (Silicon Photomultiplier) readout to increase photon detection efficiency and reduce signal loss.
- Ultra-fine high-precision crystals to enhance spatial resolution.
- Modular detector architecture for serviceability and system reliability.
Performance & Features- Spatial resolution: 2.9 mm NEMA tested resolution.
- Sensitivity: 16 cps/kBq system sensitivity.
- Reconstruction: TOF + PSF enabled reconstruction for improved lesion definition.
- Image matrix: up to 600 x 600 for high-detail reconstruction.
- Axial coverage: 30 cm axial FOV to cover organs or reduce bed positions (examples: 3 bed positions eye-to-thigh; illustrations reference 4 positions for full whole-body protocols).
- Scan time: clinical whole-body protocols cited with examples down to ~5 minutes depending on protocol and bed positions.
Clinical application highlights- High-resolution PET imaging for oncology (small lesion detection, lymph node staging).
- Neurology applications including tracer studies relevant to neurodegenerative disease.
- Whole-organ imaging protocols where extended axial coverage improves workflow.
- Protocols requiring reduced radiotracer dose or fast throughput (e.g., multi-patient scheduling).
