Florida Theranostics Debuts Florida’s First United Imaging uMI Panorama Digital PET/CT Scanner in Palm Beach County

United Imaging, a leading global innovator in medical imaging technologies, has announced the arrival of its advanced uMI Panorama™ digital PET/CT scanner at a new high-tech facility in Jupiter, Florida—marking the first installation of this system in the state.

The scanner is being introduced at Florida Theranostics, a new center dedicated to precision medicine and personalized care. The facility officially opened its doors today and is designed to deliver patient-centered services with a focus on comprehensive treatment and diagnostic experiences. Its debut comes just one year after receiving the Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Center of Excellence recognition from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI)—a distinction it holds as the only one in South Florida, according to the center’s website.

A key highlight of the grand opening is the unveiling of United Imaging’s digital PET/CT scanner, a cutting-edge technology that blends the metabolic insights of PET scans with the structural clarity of CT imaging. This fusion provides a powerful diagnostic tool that allows clinicians to more accurately detect, stage, and monitor conditions such as cancer.

"Florida Theranostics is built upon the foundation of precision medicine, committed to delivering efficient, precise, and empathetic treatment to every patient we serve. Our goal is to be at the forefront of the radioligand therapy and molecular imaging field of medicine, establishing ourselves as a top leader in the south Florida region. We believe leveraging cutting-edge technology such as the United Imaging uMI Panorama PET/CT will bring us closer to achieving that goal."

The uMI Panorama is equipped with a range of advanced features that distinguish it from other systems in the market:

• Industry-leading imaging clarity, with a 2.9 mm NEMA PET resolution and sub-200 ps timing resolution, helping physicians identify lesions earlier in the disease process.

• A wide 76 cm bore and a robust table capable of supporting up to 700 lbs., enabling accessibility for all patient types, from pediatric to bariatric.

• Rapid whole-body scanning capabilities at low radiation doses, promoting patient safety and efficiency.

• AI-driven workflow tools, including a 3D camera for accurate and reproducible patient positioning.

• An expansive 35 cm axial PET field of view and a 160-slice CT system, ensuring high-resolution functional and anatomical imaging with patient comfort in mind.

"PET/CT scans provide a potentially lifesaving level of detail that can be crucial for early diagnosis and effective treatment planning," Jeffrey M. Bundy, Ph.D., CEO of United Imaging Healthcare North America commented. "We're proud that our digital PET/CT has been selected by such an outstanding team to support their mission in Florida."
