Born to Explore

The uEXPLORER is an ultra-high-resolution digital PET/CT with a 194cm axial PET field of view (FOV) that enables the entire body to be scanned in one bed position. The system offers total-body dynamic scanning, which enables ultra-low patient doses and produces ultra-high image resolution, changing the way whole-body PET/CT imaging has traditionally been performed. With total-body coverage and unprecedented sensitivity, uEXPLORER is able to capture dynamic changes to radiotracer distribution with ultra-high temporal resolution. Take healthcare applications and scientific research to the next level with uEXPLORER.

lnnovation

564,480 crystal elements with unit-based design and gapless assembly 

194cm Axial FOV

564,480 crystal elements, unit-based design and gapless assembly achieve total-body coverage and minimize accumulative system error, bringing high spatial resolution and precisely fused images.

high and uniform sensitivity area of uEXPLORER

40 x Sensitivity Improvement

With 194 cm axial FOV, uEXPLORER is able to capture orders of magnitude more γ photons. The innovative cross coincidence technology enables signal acquisition across adjacent units, which gives 30 to 40-fold overall sensitivity boost over conventional PET/CT systems. Ultra-high and uniform sensitivity can now be achieved with the total-body coverage, covering all vital human organs.

High count statistics enables small voxel reconstriction.

fast total-body imaging of the thyroid nodule with high uptake

Fast Total-body lmaging

The thyroid nodule with high uptake is clearly visible on scan as short as 30 seconds. The fast imaging improves patient comfort and reduces motion artifacts.

imaging with reduced tracer dose

lmaging with Reduced Tracer Dose

0.2mCi tracer for a 100kg patient. Much lower dose (0.002mCi/kg) than the typical dose (0.08~0.15mCi/kg).

imaging tracer distribution from 90-minute post injection to 12 hours

lmaging Tracer Distribution for Longer

Scanned at up to 6.5 half lives post injection.Potential to observe radiopharmaceutical distribution over an extended period of time.
