Siemens' PET/MR now available in Canada
Siemens Canada Healthcare has received a Health Canada medical device license for the Biograph mMR, a whole-body molecular MR with simultaneous MR and PET data acquisition.
Biograph mMR comprises a 3T MR scanner and an integrated PET detection system with an architecture that performs as one and was designed for uncompromised MR and PET image quality. While MR provides morphological and functional details in human tissue, PET investigates at the same time the human body at the level of cellular activity and metabolism.
Siemens has already installed a number of Biograph mMR systems at customer sites for clinical research, including Klinikum Rechts der Isar of the Munich Technical University, Eberhard Karls University Tübingen in Germany and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
