Joint Press Conference Held by QST and ATOX for Brain-dedicated PET (Vrain) Launch

Press conference for Brain-dedicated PET (product name "Vrain") was held at the National Institute for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology (hereinafter called QST) on January 18, 2022. From QST, Dr. Takashi Nakano (Managing Director of Quantum Life and Medical Science Directorate) and Dr. Taiga Yamaya (Group Leader of Imaging Physics Group), and from ATOX, President Toshikazu Yaguchi and Executive Managing Director Satoshi Ueda attended the conference, and the world's first hemispherical PET system was introduced.

After seven years' development, we were able to achieve reducing both size and price so that it becomes easier for hospitals to install the device as well as obtaining the brain image with high resolution. This was realized through industry-academia collaboration by bringing in our respective strengths and know-hows: QST was responsible for the basic design and detector development, and ATOX was responsible for the practical application such as detailed design and system development. This hemispherical design is patient-friendly and reduces the burden on patients while undergoing PET examination.
ATOX will continue to actively expand the business into medical field by leveraging the knowledge we obtained through the business in nuclear energy industry. Vrain is now available.
