{"entity":{"id":"united-imaging","kind":"company","name":"United Imaging","aka":[],"tldr":"Chinese imaging company that built uEXPLORER, the first total-body PET scanner.","summary":"United Imaging, based in Shanghai and listed as 688271.SS, is the Chinese imaging company that built uEXPLORER, the first total-body PET scanner. The uEXPLORER has a 194 centimetre axial field of view and about forty times the sensitivity of a conventional scanner, the uMI Panorama is its other PET platform, and the company has a growing presence in the United States. OnCo links it to PET/CT, to nuclear medicine and total-body PET hardware and total-body PET for screening and ultra-low-dose imaging, to the molecular imaging roadmap, and to ideas on total-body PET for personalised radioligand dosing and on open-hardware machines for difficult environments. Whether ultra-sensitive scanners lead to lower-dose or cheaper imaging in practice is the open question. The total-body PET technology page carries the detail.","asOf":"2026-09-04","links":[{"label":"Official website","url":"https://www.united-imaging.com"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":[],"sections":["imaging"],"technologies":["pet-ct"],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"hq":"Shanghai","country":"CN","companyType":"imaging","website":"https://www.united-imaging.com","ticker":"688271.SS","investors":[],"funding":[]},"route":"/companies/united-imaging/","neighbours":{"section":[{"id":"imaging","kind":"section","name":"Imaging","route":"/fronts/imaging/"}],"technology":[{"id":"breast-mri-coils-abbreviated-mri","kind":"technology","name":"Breast MRI coils and abbreviated breast MRI","route":"/technologies/breast-mri-coils-abbreviated-mri/"},{"id":"ct","kind":"technology","name":"CT (computed tomography)","route":"/technologies/ct/"},{"id":"medical-imaging-scanner-manufacturing","kind":"technology","name":"CT, MRI and PET scanner manufacturing","route":"/technologies/medical-imaging-scanner-manufacturing/"},{"id":"radiotherapy-equipment-manufacturing","kind":"technology","name":"Linac, proton system and brachytherapy machine manufacturing","route":"/technologies/radiotherapy-equipment-manufacturing/"},{"id":"mri","kind":"technology","name":"MRI","route":"/technologies/mri/"},{"id":"mri-field-strengths","kind":"technology","name":"MRI field strengths: 1.5 T, 3 T and 7 T","route":"/technologies/mri-field-strengths/"},{"id":"nuclear-medicine-hardware","kind":"technology","name":"Nuclear medicine and total-body PET hardware","route":"/technologies/nuclear-medicine-hardware/"},{"id":"pet-ct","kind":"technology","name":"PET/CT","route":"/technologies/pet-ct/"},{"id":"pet-mri","kind":"technology","name":"PET/MRI","route":"/technologies/pet-mri/"},{"id":"total-body-pet-screening","kind":"technology","name":"Total-body PET for screening and ultra-low-dose imaging","route":"/technologies/total-body-pet-screening/"}],"roadmap":[{"id":"molecular-imaging-roadmap","kind":"roadmap","name":"Molecular imaging roadmap: FDG → PSMA → FAP → antigen and immune PET","route":"/roadmaps/molecular-imaging-roadmap/"}],"idea":[{"id":"idea-acc-open-hardware-linac","kind":"idea","name":"An open-hardware radiotherapy machine built for unreliable power and dust","route":"/ideas/idea-acc-open-hardware-linac/"},{"id":"idea-total-body-pet-dosimetry","kind":"idea","name":"Total-body PET for personalised radioligand dosing","route":"/ideas/idea-total-body-pet-dosimetry/"}]}}
