<\/a>The two whole-body PET-CT systems at King\u2019s are two of four across the UK supporting NPIP, all of which are supplied by Siemens Healthineers. By facilitating access to whole-body PET-CT imaging for clinicians, academics and industry, NPIP is set to accelerate discoveries, leading to more advances for UK researchers and better outcomes for patients. This not only enhances the UK’s clinical infrastructure but also reinforces its position as a global leader in medical technology and research.<\/p>\n
Equipped with technical precision that redefines molecular imaging and optimises operational performance, the Biograph Vision Quadra systems from Siemens Healthineers enable near real-time imaging of a patient’s entire body. With an in-depth look at how the body interacts with administered substances, tumours can be characterised allowing for more personalised and precise treatment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhole-body PET-CT has been an area of exciting development and exploration for several years now,\u201d commented Professor Alexander Hammers, Head of the PET Imaging Centre, School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King\u2019s College London.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were very proud to obtain research funding for one whole-body PET-CT system; having a second one on the same site available for clinical use signifies a fundamental milestone in the advancement of nuclear medicine. I am looking forward to enhancing our research activities and our clinical services with two of these innovative scanners.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe addition of two new cutting-edge whole-body PET-CT scanners in our PET Centre makes us proud and excited,\u201d added Professor Sebastien Ourselin, FREng, FMedSci, Assistant Principal (Innovation) at King\u2019s College London.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will create an incredibly unique setting for the benefit of our patients, and for scaling up research and collaboration endeavours in partnership with Siemens Healthineers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ghada Trotabas, Managing Director of Siemens Healthineers Great Britain and Ireland, stated: \u201cWe are honoured to collaborate with King\u2019s College London in their ongoing pursuit to advancing molecular imaging. The installation of two Siemens Healthineers Biograph Vision Quadra systems marks the beginning of a new era in PET-CT imaging, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in both clinical research and patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n
