United Imaging Showcases Innovations in Molecular Imaging at SNMMI 2026

At the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2026, United Imaging, a leading player in AI-powered advanced medical imaging technologies, is set to unveil significant advancements in molecular imaging. The conference theme, "Science is the Star," perfectly aligns with United Imaging's mission to enhance clinical and research practices through innovative imaging solutions.

Latest Offerings

United Imaging is excited to present its latest products within its digital PET/CT and PET/MR portfolios. Central to their display is the new uMI Panvivo family of scalable PET/CT systems designed to provide exceptional clinical versatility. The uMI Panvivo system comes with a variety of PET axial fields of views, with FDA 510(k) clearances for sizes of 24 cm, 30 cm, 53 cm, 71 cm, and a remarkable 107 cm. This flexible platform allows for tailored imaging solutions that cater to the specific needs of healthcare providers.

Among these innovations is the uMI Panvivo Mobile, designed for mobile imaging capabilities, ensuring that advanced molecular imaging is readily accessible to patients when and where they need it. Its compact, patient-centric design enhances workflow efficiency and supports a range of imaging applications. Depending on regional availability, it can feature either an 80-slice CT configuration, aimed at comprehensive clinical use, or a 160-slice version, optimized for cardiac and general imaging purposes.

Built on the robust uExcel platform, the entire uMI Panvivo line boasts intelligent applications such as uExcel DPR and uExcel Focus, which focus on enhancing both image quality and quantitative accuracy. This technological backbone strengthens United Imaging's commitment to delivering top-tier imaging solutions.

Advancing PET/CT Technology

Continuing its legacy in innovation, United Imaging is proud to introduce the scalable uMI Panorama family, recognized as the first PET/CT systems capable of delivering sub-200 picoseconds Time-of-Flight (TOF) for every scan. This technological leap is exemplified in the flagship uMI Panorama GS model, featuring a generous 148 cm axial field of view (AFOV). This extensive design allows for comprehensive whole-body PET imaging, demonstrating significant clinical and translational benefits.

Visitors can experience the workflow of the system firsthand through a simulator at the exhibit, highlighting the advantages of enhanced sensitivity, true TOF capabilities, industry-leading resolution, and axial coverage. Techniques such as CT-free attenuation correction and AI-driven reconstruction further exemplify how United Imaging prioritizes speed and quality while maintaining a low radiation dose for patient safety.

Spotlight on PET/MR Innovations

The company will also showcase the uPMR Zenith, the latest addition to its PET/MR portfolio. This system achieves a breakthrough in PET sensitivity while integrating unique MR capabilities, allowing for precision and depth in molecular imaging. Designed for comprehensive applications in oncology, neurology, and theranostics, the uPMR Zenith combines high-performance gradient and radiofrequency (RF) systems for real-time MR LIVE imaging, capable of capturing true physiological states of the human body effectively.

Satellite Symposium and Expert Insights

To foster ongoing scientific dialogue, United Imaging will host a Satellite Symposium on June 1, featuring prominent experts discussing the uMI Panorama GS and its impact on medical imaging. Among the speakers are Soma Somanesan, Ph.D. from Singapore General Hospital, Frank M. Bengel, MD from Hannover, Germany, and Dr. Ciprian Catana from Massachusetts General Hospital. The session will culminate with a presentation from Richard Carson, Ph.D. of Yale University, discussing the ultra-high-resolution uNeuroEXPLORER brain PET/CT system.

Commitment to Healthcare Innovation

United Imaging’s diverse and advanced PET/CT portfolio reflects its dedication to high-performance technology that adapts to the dynamic needs of the healthcare sector. By broadening access to state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, United Imaging is progressing toward its goal of providing equal healthcare for all, a commitment that resonates deeply within the medical community and enhances patient care globally.
