Problem
Existing PET/MRI systems are expensive and require specialized infrastructure, limiting their availability and increasing costs for healthcare providers. This restricts access to advanced molecular imaging, hindering early and accurate diagnosis of diseases.
Solution
PETcoil develops a removable positron emission tomography (PET) insert that enhances existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, enabling them to perform high-performance PET/MRI scans without the need for dedicated PET/MRI machines. This technology allows healthcare providers to upgrade their existing MRI infrastructure to perform simultaneous PET and MRI imaging, increasing the accuracy and sensitivity of molecular imaging while significantly reducing capital expenditure and operational costs. The PETcoil insert integrates seamlessly with existing MRI workflows, providing clinicians with a cost-effective solution for advanced diagnostic imaging.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals, imaging centers, and research institutions that utilize MRI and seek to expand their molecular imaging capabilities in a cost-effective manner.
