PETcoil

PETcoil, established in 2018 and headquartered at 1257 Oakmead Pkwy Suite B, Sunnyvale, California, focuses on making multimodality molecular imaging more accurate, sensitive, and affordable. The company’s core technology, developed from research at Stanford University, includes a removable positron emission tomography (PET) insert that enables existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners to achieve high-performance PET/MRI cost-effectively. PETcoil’s first product is a head PETcoil, which allows hospitals to add PET imaging capabilities to neurological and head/neck MRI studies. The PETcoil system features a patented portable PET scanner, a radiofrequency (RF)-penetrable PET insert, and a phased-array RF receiver coil, facilitating simultaneous PET and MRI scans. This system enhances workflow by reducing overall scan time and improving patient comfort, while also providing better image quality due to superior spatial resolution. The portable nature of the PETcoil system allows it to be used across multiple MRI systems and clinical settings. PETcoil’s mission is to create affordable, high-performance molecular imaging systems that empower doctors to drive early and accurate diagnosis of diseases, with a vision of making multi-modality medical imaging accessible to every patient.
