Cubresa and Siemens ink collaboration agreement

Cubresa has signed an agreement with Siemens Healthineers to integrate its BrainPET scanner into Siemens’ Magnetom MRI scanners.

Cubresa’s BrainPET scanner is designed to expand the capabilities of MRI scanners by enabling brain-optimized simultaneous PET/MR imaging. The contract will initially focus on Siemens’ Magnetom Terra and Terra.X 7-tesla MRI scanners, with other field strengths and models to follow, Cubresa said.

As a removable insert, the BrainPET scanner enables imaging centers to conduct hybrid PET/MRI scans in a single session when required and then revert to MRI-only scanning as needed, the company noted.
