Cubresa's New NuPET Scanner Enables Simultaneous PET/MRI In Existing Third-Party MRI Systems

A compact PET scanner called NuPET™ has been commercially released for simultaneous preclinical PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in existing third-party MRI systems. PET and MRI are complementary imaging methods for better understanding disease and testing novel treatments in small animal subjects. Simultaneous PET/MRI imaging offers a solution to many challenges that face researchers who wish to correlate biochemical and physiological changes in their subjects.
