United Imaging reinforced its leadership in MRI innovation at the ISMRM 2025 Annual Meeting in Honolulu by unveiling cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of magnetic resonance imaging. A standout was the industry’s first and only whole-body 8-channel parallel transmit coil, designed to deliver uniform B1 field imaging with fully independent transmit control. This system enables faster, automated calibration and targeted optimization for specific body parts—marking a significant leap forward in ultra-high-field imaging performance and workflow efficiency. These advancements build on last year’s debut of the 5T uMR Jupiter, demonstrating United Imaging’s sustained investment in high-performance, scalable solutions for both clinical and research applications.

Another major highlight was the uMR® Ultra, an advanced 3T MRI system that is currently pending FDA approval. This system introduces a breakthrough in dynamic imaging by enabling real-time visualization of the body in motion. Through the integration of the uAIFI.LIVE platform and advanced gradient performance (100 mT/m at 200 T/m/s), the uMR Ultra allows clinicians to capture physiological movement with precision. It supports 192 receive channels and up to 96-channel coils, significantly expanding clinical utility across neurological, musculoskeletal, and functional imaging applications—especially where motion artifacts previously posed limitations.

With continued investment in U.S.-based manufacturing, regulatory expansion, and intellectual property protection, United Imaging is clearly positioning itself as a driver of industry transformation. Executives emphasized their commitment to delivering "industry firsts" that redefine imaging norms while enhancing patient care. By combining cutting-edge AI platforms, user-centric design, and scalable technology, United Imaging is not only advancing MRI capabilities but also shaping a more accessible and dynamic future for diagnostic imaging worldwide.
