MEXICO CITY, July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United Imaging, a global leader in advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment, has launched its uMI 550 PET/CT system at the Instituto Nacional de Pediatría (INP) in Mexico. This partnership reflects a shared commitment between the two organizations to enhance pediatric healthcare in Latin America.
"Our partnership marks a milestone in pediatric healthcare in Mexico, setting new standards for quality, efficiency, and precision medicine," said Dr. Jusong Xia, the President of International Business at United Imaging Healthcare. "INP shares our belief that the unique capabilities of our technology serve a higher purpose and can elevate clinical outcomes to a new level."
INP, a premier institute in Mexico, is the first to utilize advanced digital PET/CT technology for pediatric precision medicine in the country. The introduction of the uMI 550 system will enable more accurate diagnoses, leading to improved quality of life for children. The system's diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and patient-centric design prioritize safety and comfort for both patients and healthcare providers.
To further support INP's goal of precise imaging for better clinical outcomes, the uMI 550 incorporates the Integrated-Light-Guide Digital PET detector with a 2.76 mm LYSO crystal—the finest in the industry—resulting in consistently high-quality imaging outcomes. Additionally, the innovative data-driven motion correction algorithm addresses blurring, delivering reliable data even if the patient moves during the scan. This intelligent system streamlines the entire diagnostic process and minimizes the need for repeat scans.
"The standout features of the uMI 550 include ultra-high spatial resolution, which allows for more detailed and precise images, especially of small or subtle lesions. Combined with a wide field of view, we can complete full-body scans much faster than before," stated Dr. Rosa María Palma Rosillo, Head of the Nuclear Medicine Service Department at INP. "This system ensures outstanding imaging with minimal radiation exposure and shorter scan times, enabling us to help more patients and even support peripheral pediatric hospitals now. The uMI 550 is powered by advanced metal artifact correction technology, making it possible to obtain more accurate images of patients with implants."
United Imaging's commitment to creating a human-centered medical solution is reflected in the uMI 550's personalized treatment environment. The PET/CT operation room is designed with tailored cartoon images of sea life to soothe and distract young patients during procedures, contributing to more efficient and accurate imaging outcomes.
