Mirada debuts software enabling PET/MR fusion

Mirada Medical is unveiling its Universal PET/MR at the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) annual meeting being held in Birmingham, England, Oct. 16 to 18. 

The Oxford, England-based Mirada said its PET/MR technology utilizes its deformable registration software to align PET and MR images. Mirada's Universal PET/MR makes it possible for images from existing scanners to be loaded and fused with PET or PET/CT images, even if these have been acquired at a different time or place.

Users can realize the benefits of PET/MR through tri-modal fusion of an MRI scan with a PET/CT scan, or fusion of standalone PET to MRI, according to the company. This software-based PET/MR provides information during tumor assessment, staging and delineation, with visualization of soft tissue abnormalities and tumors localized using MR.
