The uBioEXPLORER is a cutting-edge translational digital total-body PET/CT system that boasts an unparalleled 50 cm bore diameter and 48 cm axial PET field of view (FOV), making it possible to capture the entire anatomy of different animals – from rodents to non-human primates – in a single bed position. Utilizing the same technology as our uEXPLORER® clinical total-body PET system, the uBioEXPLORER has the capability to perform total-body dynamic scanning, resulting in ultra-high image resolution and ultra-low radiation doses, thereby revolutionizing the conventional approach to preclinical whole-body PET/CT imaging. The system's extensive coverage and industry-leading sensitivity facilitate the observation of dynamic changes in radiotracer distribution with remarkable temporal resolution, thus enabling translational applications and scientific research to reach new heights with the uBioEXPLORER.
The large 50 cm bore diameter and 48 cm axial PET FOV provides exceptional image quality with 2.6 mm NEMA resolution for preclinical imaging – from rodents to non-human primates.
One Size Fits All
With 94,080 crystal elements, the uBioEXPLORER provides an industry-leading 57 cps/kBq system sensitivity for preclinical total-body PET/CT imaging applications which helps improve quantitative accuracy and small lesion detectability.
