DESCRIPTION
For the first time, MR and PET are one.Biograph mMR* is the first system that can simultaneously acquire MR and PET data across the whole body. Now users have the power to obtain a comprehensive diagnostic picture with one scan. This combined information of MR and PET fully supports users from detection and assessment of disease, through precise planning of intervention, to follow-up treatment.

The Biograph mMR combines an MR scanner and a PET detection system to create a single image. The Biograph mMR is the world’s first integrated whole-body molecular Magnetic Resonance (MR) system with simultaneous data acquisition technology. The system combines an MR scanner and an integrated Positron Emission Tomography (PET) detection system with an architecture that performs as one. The new 3-Tesla hybrid system received FDA approval in June and is designed to provide new opportunities for imaging. While MR provides morphological and functional details in human tissue, PET goes further to investigate the human body at the level of cellular activity and metabolism. Combination MR-PET systems have the potential to be particularly valuable for identifying neurological, oncological and cardiac conditions of disease and in supporting the planning of appropriate therapies. Since MRI does not emit ionizing radiation, Biograph mMR may provide an added benefit with lower-dose imaging. The Biograph mMR also opens new opportunities for research, such as the development of new biomarkers or new therapeutic approaches. Initial research suggests that with this system, Molecular MR can scan the entire body in as little as 30 minutes for the combined exams, compared to one hour or more for sequential MR and PET examinations.

FDA gives first nod to PET/MRI system with Siemens clearance
June 10, 2011 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced the first regulatory clearance of a hybrid PET/MRI scanner in the U.S., with Siemens Healthcare receiving 510(k) clearance for its Biograph mMR scanner. In its ruling, the FDA noted that the PET/MRI technology allows the acquisition of images from both modalities simult...
