FDA Clears New System to Perform Simultaneous PET, MRI Scan

June 13, 2011
The FDA cleared Siemens’ Biograph mMR system, the first device to simultaneously perform a PET scan and a MRI scan, Friday. Advantages of the Siemens system include simultaneous imaging, reduced radiation dose and increase soft tissue contrast, the FDA says. Clearance was based on bench tests comparing Siemens’ device to a predicate PET/CT device.
