Expanding our 7T PET/MRI Footprint to the United States
2025.12.19.
with strategic installation at Northeastern University’s Center for Translational NeuroImaging
We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for Mediso — the first nanoScan 7 Tesla (7T) PET/MRI（https://mediso.com/global/en/product/pre-clinical-products/nanoscanr-petmri-3t-and-7t） preclinical imaging system officially installed and operational in the United States at Northeastern University’s Center for Translational NeuroImaging (CTNI)!
https://news.northeastern.edu/2025/10/06/northeastern-ctni-pet-scanner-technology/
This ultra-high-field system represents a leap forward in preclinical imaging by combining state-of-the-art MRI and PET in a single, integrated platform — enabling truly simultaneous structural, functional, and molecular imaging with unprecedented detail. It’s a game-changer for neuroscience research and drug development.
What makes this installation so extraordinary?
It’s the first nanoScan 7T PET/MRI system showcased in the U.S., chosen for the visionary research happening at Northeastern.
The system enables awake animal fMRI, unlocking functional connectivity mapping in conditions that better reflect the natural brain state — a crucial advancement for translational neuroscience and psychedelic-induced connectivity studies. (Supported by EKAM Imaging’s（https://www.linkedin.com/company/ekam-imaging-inc/） advanced awake imaging protocols.)
T he PET/MRI combination supports simultaneous acquisition, integrating molecular imaging with ultra-high-resolution anatomy and function — ideal for cutting-edge research into neuropsychiatric disorders, TBI, neurodegeneration and beyond.
A special acknowledgment to Professor Craig Ferris and Praveen Kulkarni whose decades of leadership in neuroscience and awake imaging made this collaboration possible.
