The life science company is teaming up with SNU’s Department of Nuclear Medicine to launch the world’s first permanent magnet commercial simultaneous PET/MRI complete solution for preclinical research at WMIC. The system is launching at the special price of $499,000

Tel-Aviv, Israel — Aspect Imaging, a life-science company, and Seoul National University’s Department of Nuclear Medicine are presenting a commercial product for simultaneous PET/MRI operation, the first of its kind, at the 2016 World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) in New York, booth #214.

The innovative system combines state-of-the-art technology from both fields, integrating Aspect Imaging’s M7™ compact MRI with SNU’s novel PET insert “SimPET”. The M7™ MRI was designed for easy, non-invasive imaging of mice and rats, providing exquisite soft tissue contrast for anatomical studies. Moreover, SimPET, also compact and completely integrated with M7 compact MRI, offers superior detection sensitivity of hyper-metabolic activity. Tog
