Jeffrey M. Bundy, Ph.D, CEO of United Imaging Healthcare Solutions, commented on the unique strengths of the company’s approach to artificial intelligence. “We actually develop our uAI® technologies across modalities from the ground up, not siloed in each modality. That leads to better learning and more standardized, scalable implementation for customers, and the ability to connect AI benefits across modalities over time to impact patient care. It’s also worth pointing out that in Molecular Imaging, because our uEXPLORER® technology is the foundation of our AI algorithms and it is still the only total-body scanner out there, our AI algorithms are the only ones in the world trained on total-body data. And, we know data is the foundation of all AI algorithms and the results are only as good as the training sets that are utilized.”

Bundy went on to say that United Imaging was also forward-thinking in the way it chose to approach the Molecular Imaging and its other modality portfolios in line with its mission. “The core uEXPLORER technology is embedded in our most financially accessible digital PET/CT system before we move up the portfolio – that ‘forward innovation’ is part of how we create equal healthcare for all, and it’s different from traditional industry norms.” United Imaging also put the uMI 550 in a mobile trailer last year to meet demand for patient access to digital PET/CT. In the full year that the uMI 550 was the first and only digital mobile PET/CT on the market, it has served patients at dozens of hospitals across the USA.


Cheri Gottke, VP of Molecular Imaging in the U.S., explained that this year’s SNMMI is a way for United Imaging to demonstrate forward thinking and forward innovation in other areas as well. “Having a system that can compete with others that are more than double the investment because of the way we build the best innovation into our equipment at all ends of the portfolio is game changing. When we tell a customer that our uMI 550 PET/CT system is AI enabled to do a total body PET exam in five minutes, the first reaction is ‘but what about image quality.’ Then they look at the images, and they’re blown away.”
