Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

PET scanning is a gamma-based imaging technique that allows doctors to detect early signs of cancer, brain disorders and heart diseases by identifying changes in organs and tissues at cellular level. 

Cooling for PET Scanners

PET scanning is a gamma-based imaging technique that allows doctors to detect early signs of cancer, brain disorders and heart diseases by identifying changes in organs and tissues at cellular level. In a PET scan, the patient is injected with a radioactive substance and placed on a flat table that moves into a donut-shaped housing called gantry. 
The gantry of a PET system contains several gamma ray detectors that require very precise temperature control to one another in order to generate a proper image. If one detector fails it will have a significant impact on the final image result. 

Liquid Cooling Solution

With the ability to cool well below ambient at a temperature accuracy of ±0.1°C the Nextreme Series supports cooling needs of PET scanning systems. This is a new generation recirculating chiller offering lower noise and reduced energy consumption compared to previous models.
