TEL-AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 3, 2018--Aspect Imaging, a life-science company, and Brightonix Imaging are presenting a commercial, compact MRI insert for simultaneous PET/MRI operation at the 2018 World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) in Seattle, WA, booth #505.

The “SimPET” was originally introduced 2 years ago at WMIC 2016, integrating Aspect Imaging’s M7™ compact MRI with Brightonix Imaging’s novel PET insert “SimPET”. The SimPET insert is now offered to all preclinical researchers, with clear magnet bore sizes from 16 cm to 40 cm and field strengths from 3.0 Tesla to 11.74 Tesla. The outer diameter of SimPET is 99 mm and will fit within gradient coil diameters of 100 mm and greater. Researchers will now have the ability to upgrade standard preclinical research MRIs with a cost-effective PET insert, as well as the option of using SimPET in the Aspect M7™ magnet.
