The Biograph mMR is the world’s first integrated whole-body molecular Magnetic Resonance (MR) system with simultaneous data acquisition technology. The system combines an MR scanner and an integrated Positron Emission Tomography (PET) detection system with an architecture that performs as one.
First pet scan
The new 3-Tesla hybrid system received FDA approval in June and is designed to provide new opportunities for imaging. While MR provides morphological and functional details in human tissue, PET goes further to investigate the human body at the level of cellular activity and metabolism.
Combination MR-PET systems have the potential to be particularly valuable for identifying neurological, oncological and cardiac conditions of disease and in supporting the planning of appropriate therapies. Since MRI does no
