PET imaging for your MRI system
Simultaneous PET/MRI has been shown to provide substantial clinical benefits by combining the complementary strengths of both imaging modalities. However, the high cost of purchasing and installing an integrated PET/MRI scanner remains prohibitive for most healthcare institutions. Although integrated PET/MRI systems have been commercially available since around 2011, their high cost has limited adoption primarily to a relatively small number of academic medical centers.
PETcoil is developing a portable PET scanner that can be placed within an existing MRI scanner, enabling simultaneous PET and MRI imaging without the need to purchase a dedicated integrated PET/MRI system.
Our first product is a portable PET scanner designed for head imaging. It is intended to provide high-quality PET imaging at a fraction of the cost of conventional PET/CT and integrated PET/MRI systems.
PETcoil portable insert
Radiofrequency (RF) -penetrable PETinsert
Phased-array RF receiver coil
REDUCED
COST
Use existing MRI infrastructure to cost-effectively achieve simultaneous PET/MRI.
IMPROVED WORKFLOW
Simultaneously acquiring MRI and PET scans reduces overall scan time and improves comfort for patients needing both scans.
BETTER
IMAGE
Observe more details in the image, enabled by the better spatial resolution of the PETcoil scanners.
PORTABLE
Add PET to multiple MRI systems or perform PET across different clinical settings.
