Breakthrough 5T MRI System and AI features unveiled at ECR 2023

United Imaging Healthcare, a global provider of advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment, life science instruments and intelligent digital solutions, has just launched a pioneering whole-body ultra-high field 5T MRI scanner, the uMR Jupiter 5.0T, at ECR 2023.

The system was unveiled for the first time internationally along with United Imaging Healthcare‘s comprehensive flagship products across all modalities, including PET / CT, PET / MR, MR, CT, and DR, on March 1 in the ACV, the traditional home of the ECR in Vienna, Austria.

The uMR Jupiter 5T features an 8-channel volume transit coil, gradient strength of 120 mT / m and a peak slew rate of 200 T / m / s. The 5T magnet has the same footprint as 3T system and can be installed in a 3T-sized room, making it more accessible to healthcare professionals.
