It’s our pleasure to share about the most recent installation in France. Thanks to the partnership with Qualimedis, a leading provider of innovative products and quality assurance solutions in the fields of imaging and radiotherapy, Eure TEP Scan will leverage the cutting-edge technology of uMI 550 – our digital positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). This collaboration aims to advance diagnostic precision and raise the standard of care, supporting more accurate and timely diagnoses across a broad spectrum of conditions.
Advancing Regional Diagnostics
The Eure TEP Scan, located within the nuclear medicine department at the Eure Seine Hospital Center in Évreux, operates as a public-private partnership. This collaboration involves the Eure Seine Hospital Center, L’Imagerie Médicale Libérale d’Evreux, and La Clinique Pasteur, combining resources from the public and private sectors to provide advanced nuclear imaging technology for diagnostics. The initiative demonstrates how collaborative approaches in healthcare can broaden access to advanced medical technology, which might otherwise be challenging for single institutions to support independently. In line with its mission of improving local healthcare infrastructure and patient accessibility to molecular imaging, the Eure TEP Scan has decided to invest in the uMI 550.
Industry-Leading Molecular Imaging Within Reach
The design of the uMI 550 reflects our commitment to making high-performance molecular imaging technology accessible to a wide range of healthcare facilities. Its innovative features include an Integrated-Light-Guide Digital PET detector, which enhances light collection efficiency and spatial resolution to achieve exceptional image quality. At the same time, the
80-slice CT system with the innovative Z-Detector reduces the overall noise, delivering crystal clear results at a minimized radiation dose.
The uMI 550’s motion correction algorithm is a unique feature, reducing the need for repeat scans by correcting patient motion in real-time. Additionally, the advanced AI-powered reconstruction techniques improve image contrast while maintaining a low noise profile, ensuring superior image clarity even during rapid scans. The reduced need for radioactive sources in daily quality optimizes radiation exposure to the medical personnel staff, promoting safer operational practices and lowering long-term costs for healthcare providers.
Dive into the cutting-edge features that position the uMI 550 as a leader in molecular imaging
Improved Contrast-to-Noise Ratio
The advanced time of flight (TOF) technology significantly accelerates image convergence by precisely localizing annihilation photons. This not only improves contrast but also substantially reduces image noise. The resulting enhancement in the contrast-to-noise ratio allows for better visualization of complex pathologies.
Integrated Oncology Application
Our system seamlessly integrates with a comprehensive package designed to facilitate tumor diagnosis and post-therapeutic evaluation directly from the operation console. This empowers healthcare professionals to enhance the management of oncology patients effectively.
Innovative Head Motion Correction
The advanced data-driven motion correction technology employs a sophisticated algorithm to effortlessly detect patient movement from list-mode data during scans, effectively correcting motion blur to enhance image quality.
Intelligent Motion Artifact Reduction
Our digital self-gating technology automatically detects respiratory motions, ensuring accurate imaging even during patient movement. Additionally, our Metal Artifact Correction (MAC) technology helps reduce metal artifacts, leading to more reliable results. By mitigating distortions caused by metal implants, MAC enhances image clarity and diagnostic precision, leading to more reliable results and better patient care.
