Siemens PET-MR gets Canadian OK

by Brendon Nafziger, DOTmed News Associate Editor | August 04, 2011
Siemens Healthcare said Wednesday its hybrid PET-MR device received approval from Canada's health authorities, getting a Health Canada Medical Device License.

The device, the Biograph mMR, is the first fully integrated PET and MR scanner. It's already available in the U.S. and Europe, having received FDA clearance and CE marking in June.

Siemens said the new technology would likely have cancer, heart disease and neurological applications. Simultaneous acquisition of PET and MRI images also means it's faster than sequential staging with individual PET and MR scanners.
