HOUSTON, Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United Imaging, a global leader in advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment, has installed the world's first uMI Panvivo PET/CT at Pueblo Medical Imaging in Nevada, USA. The uMI Panvivo is a powerful advanced platform that expands upon United Imaging's fully digital PET/CT portfolio with industry leading NEMA spatial resolution of 2.9 mm*.
