Ultra-high-field technology, ultra-high-gradient technology,
and advances in artificial intelligence take center stage.
SHANGHAI, May 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- United Imaging, a global leader in manufacturing
advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment, will unveil
its latest MRI technology, boasting incredible advancements
across various fronts, as a Gold sponsor at this year's ISMRM
meeting.
The company's exhibit at this year's ISMRM meeting strategically
divides into four sections: Ultra-High Field, Ultra-High Gradient,
Artificial Intelligence, and Innovation Community. Each section
addresses industry priorities and showcases sophisticated
technological advancements.
"United Imaging has always been dedicated to pushing boundaries
and driving innovation," says Dr. Al
Zhang, Ph.D, Chairman & Co-CEO. "ISMRM holds immense
value for us, fostering connections with global partners who share
our drive for progress. Our purposeful innovation drives scientific
research forward, leading to groundbreaking advancements in
healthcare technology. Guided by our mission, 'Equal Healthcare for
All,' we remain committed to pioneering solutions that enhance
patient care worldwide."
At the forefront of the "Ultra-High Field" showcase is the uMR
Jupiter 5T, a revolutionary whole-body 5T MRI system that recently
received FDA clearance. It transcends the traditional constraints
of ultra-high-field MRI, previously confined to imaging of the
brain and selected MSK joints. The potential applications of the
uMR Jupiter 5T extend to encompass the abdomen, heart, pelvis, and
additional anatomical regions. uMR Jupiter has the potential to
eclipse the capabilities of standard 3T MRI machines in resolution
and signal-to-noise ratio, delivering clarity that empowers
radiologists to uncover clinical details previously hidden, truly
allowing them to 'see the unseen.' The uMR Jupiter 5T is also
designed to overcome the key hurdles of ultra-high-field MRI: image
uniformity and radio frequency safety. It fits into existing 3T MRI
spaces, signaling a significant advancement in the industry.
Highlighted also in the "Ultra-High-Field" section is the
"SuperFlexFree Coils" (not available in the U.S. or EU for
commercial or clinical use). There are three types of coils in this
set and all are 24 channels. Each is designed for scanning large
joints and the heart, small joints, and delicate structures
respectively. Compared to traditional coils, SuperFlexFree Coils
have a significantly higher coil density and flexibility, which
will result in better image signal-to-noise ratio and acceleration
performance.
Additionally, United Imaging introduces breakthroughs in the
"Ultra High Gradient" category, including the uMR Sagitta (not
submitted to the FDA; not available in the U.S. for commercial or
clinical use) and the uMR NX Frontier (not submitted to the FDA;
not available in the U.S. for commercial or clinical use). uMR
Sagitta completely revolutionizes the performance limits of
magnetic resonance, achieving significant advances in global
research in 3T systems. With the powerful 'Twin-Engine technology'
driving force, its gradient performance surpasses 240 mT/m and 200 T/m/s, offering a fresh
perspective in precise diagnosis and treatment. uMR NX Frontier
(not submitted to the FDA; not available in the U.S. for commercial
or clinical use), dedicated to brain research, serves as the
new-gen model of Human Connectome Project (HCP) studies, boasting
ultra-high-performance gradients of 650
mT/m and 600 T/m/s, leading a frontier exploration in
neuroscience.
For the "Artificial Intelligence" section, United Imaging
highlights the uAIFI Technology Platform, an innovative end-to-end
technology platform that revolutionizes MRI through AI-integrated
hardware and software. It significantly enhances image quality,
expedites diagnostic processes and improves user-friendliness,
pioneering advances in patient care. This holistic approach spans
the care continuum, with standout features like ACS, an AI-assisted
MR acceleration technology for enhanced 2D and 3D imaging. This
platform evolved intelligently, bringing a new level of AI
integration to uMR systems.
United Imaging has always been dedicated to advancing MRI
research through collaboration with industry partners. The ADEPT
platform - Application Developing Environment and Programming Tools
-- is a comprehensive platform offering essential features of
precise hardware control and effortless application development.
Coupled with extensive support for research platform interfacing
and a vibrant scientific community, ADEPT marks a significant leap
forward in accelerating user development and advancing scientific
research in the field of MRI.
ISMRM attendees are invited to experience the future of MRI at
Booth A18.
