Paving the way for scientific breakthroughs that will transform the lives of patients now and in the future.
The launch of the UK’s first-of-its-kind national total-body PET imaging platform will provide a complete picture of the nation’s clinical PET imaging research, leading to transformations in the way we research, predict and treat diseases forever.
The impact will have far-reaching effects on the progress of the scientific, medical, and academic communities and for patients across the UK.
