FDA has cleared a United Imaging 510(k) for the uExplorer total-body scanner, which is described as the world’s first medical imaging scanner that can capture a 3D picture of the whole human body at one bed position. The device is a combined positron emission tomography and x-ray computed tomography scanner that can image the entire human body at the same time. The company says the technology will have a wide range of applications, from improving diagnostics to tracking disease progression to researching new therapies. For example, it will be used to better visualize cancer that has spread beyond a single tumor site, and researchers say it will be used to measure blood flow across the entire body, and study inflammation, infections and immunological/metabolic disorders, according to the company.
