MicroPET Program Expanded with Addition of Siemens Inveon Imaging System
March 29, 2010 – As part of our ongoing commitment to offering a broad suite of validated state-of-the-art imaging technologies in models of disease, we have added a Siemens Inveon small animal PET scanner to our Discovery and Imaging Services portfolio.
The new system will facilitate the expansion of our PET imaging programs in the areas of oncology, inflammation, cardiovascular and metabolic disease. It will also increase PET imaging efficiency and capacity, allowing more rapid generation of clinically relevant image-based end points and minimizing study timelines for clients.
The Inveon represents a new class of preclinical multimodality imaging solutions, offering a comprehensive range of imaging capabilities through hardware and software innovation. The Inveon platform also allows for the integration of microCT and microSPECT. For the Inveon, Siemens has developed key targeted research applications, including drug discovery, oncology, cardiology and bone research.
