Bruker completes acquisition of preclinical PET imaging business

The recently introduced, next-generation AlbiraSi preclinical PET/SPECT/CT system features advanced silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology. This proprietary detector technology allows the highest full field-of-view PET resolution and sensitivity, a major advantage over traditional PET technology. This innovation has also allowed the development of the first SiPM-based PET insert for preclinical MRI systems, giving researchers the benefit of simultaneous PET and MRI measurements.

Dr. Wulf I. Jung, President of Bruker’s Preclinical Imaging Division, stated: “PET imaging is one of the most important imaging modalities for translational research. With this acquisition Bruker is strengthening its leadership in preclinical imaging. The unique, performance-leading SiPM PET detector technology, and other PET capabilities developed in close collaboration with the molecular imaging institute I3M and the University of Valencia, offer outstanding spatial resolution across the full field of view (FOV), increasing the high-resolution FOV by an order of magnitude compared to traditional PET systems, and thereby facilitating quantitative imaging investigations.”
